    Side Rails

    Has anyone installed side rails on their boats?

    I would like to do so to mount some rod holders for striper fishing on some of the nearby lakes.

    No.
    Sounds like your trying to turn your boat into a catfish boat.

    Well if one bit I would for sure reel it in :)

    This would actually be for striper fishing on Lewis Smith lake. Just had a guided trip there and now I want to go back! (but in my boat)

    HAve you seen the rod holders that mount in the but seat mounts? I think they are kinda pricey, but they seem to be pretty neat and they won't ruin a bass boat by making it a catfish boat.
