Welcome to the site - you'll be glad you joined. Lots of experience represented here - these guys have helped me through some difficult repairs and are just ornery enough to be a lot of fun.

I use Scottys - very strong plastic, bracket/receptical mounts on inside vertical surface of gunnel and holder inserts and locks in. Adjustable horizontally & vertically, comes out for storage. They are fully adequate for Salmon & Sturgeon in the northwest. I can't recall if I had to put backing behind the fiberglass, but would be a good idea to screw through into a piece of rot resistant wood or Starboard. If you're not familiar with fiberglass, be sure to drill out the holes big enough so you don't cause cracks.
