pomapanette and taco should sell them. I make my own rod holders from scrap aluminum from the T-Top shop. I take thin pvc tubing and cut a grove down one side, that allows me to stick them inside the rod holder, works pretty good

Are u asking about the side rod holders in the gunnells? Depends on which ones u have, the rectangle ones on the newer models can be found, the quadrilateral ones are almost impossible to locate.

Depends on how bad the old ones are cracked. Biggest issue was the way they were attached to the hull liner. The flanges tended to crack along the bends.

If you do use them as a mold, post some pics. Lotta guys said they were going to do that , but never heard from them.

Did you ever move forward with anything? I have the rectangle ones but are a different size from anything I have found.

They only had a couple cracks so I glasses them w/1.5oz matt from the rear for strength. I can stand on them now.
If they fall apart I'll use them to make a plug

I have a 1990 v20 cuddly with the plastic gunnel inserts. The inside corners had holes probably due to the plastic being stretched in the molds. I removed them and fiberglassed the backside with a fiberglass repair kit for $15 at AutoZone. Painted them with white Krylon plastic paint. They look brand new and the boat looks cleaner too. All in for $30 and time.
