[#800000][size 4]Milenine,
What Petty4life said. There are bases available from most mfg’s and from others that clamp to the gunnel. Also, a 2 X 6 or 2 X 8 long enough to reach across the width near the back of the boat will also work. Sealed oak works the best but also costs the most. And if you really want to go fancy, by an aluminum track long enough to reach across the width. Downrigger bases slide in and out of the track as well as several types of rod holders. There are lots of options for Jon boats. [/size][/#800000]
