My memory tells me the top, flat surface of the gunnel is 4 1/4" on my 1984 V20cuddy.

You can get 2 regulars in each gunnel aft of the rod box and one forward of the rod box. Furthest aft Put a 30 degree straight back, just forward of that put a 0 degree and a 0 degree forward of the rod box. Use outrodders in the 0 degree holders.

You can also mount surface mount rodholders in various places around the motorwell.

My gunnel is modified so it looks very wide but heres a pik to give you an idea.

I don't think you can put flushmounts in the motorwell and have clearance for the battery/oil res/bilge pump.
OK...sounds like there would not be enough wood left for a sturdy mount using these Mate rod holders? Do standard flush mounts use a smaller hole?

Thx, Bill
