My boat is a 17" maxum, not really designed for fishing. i can mount Scotty pole holders on the boat, but there is not enough side rail to mount a down rigger. So I Frankensteined this together to mount in a normal pole holder.
36" 1/2" pipe with cap. a few eye bolts, 45 deg copper elbows for guides, wrapped with line (Preventing down rigger line with weight from slipping off). One mounted on the 1/2" pipe the other on the cap. misc fittings to turn up and size up top 1.25" pipe, to hold my fishing pole pole. i have a cabela's depth master reel spooled with 80 lbs. braid. could use any heavy duty reel with depth markers. i just happened to have one. (I don't like right hand retrieve reels)
