I have scotty's myself,,,,but whatever you do DO NOT,,,,,,and i repeat DO NOT,,cheap out on rod holders,,,you will just regret it and end up buyingg the better ones down the road,,,,understand the type of fishing you will be doing and where they will be mounted on your boat(makes a differance for strain on the boat),,,and pick your best option from there,,,,,a good thing would be to have an experianced fisherman help ya set up and go over what would be your best bet.. i personally had cheap ones on my boat when i bought it and got tired of them really quick,,,i had a guy whith a tackle shop who also runs charters set me up with what i needed for walleye and salmon fishing...always a good move getting some help from the guys that know from experiance!!
