Take a look at this site:

I bought: hinges, and transom rod holders. Good quality and much better cost than the retail (West Marine) My 4" hinges were around $4. each. The same ones at West were $24.
I am interested in the surface mounted holders. I thing they will hold up well.
What do you think?
