Can I install some recessed rod holder on the sides of the boat ? Something like this --> https://www.top-fishing.fr/catalogue/article/porte-canne-seanox-encastrable-15-fixation-platine.html Thanks you very much for your answers ! Have a nice day, Adrien

The potential for water getting into the hull side foam would be pretty high. I've found that rail mounted rod holders work very well and have almost endless adjustabilty. They can be removed or moved if necessary while leaving no damage behind. Butch

Cutting a recess into the side is reducing the rigidity of the hull. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
