Well as promised, here are a couple of pics of my rod holder I built for the toon. I used 1 1/4" PVC, 10" lengths for the holders. The swaged end of the holder was done using my trusty dremmel drill, a propane torch, and a childrens Tylenol bottle! I used 1/2" PVC for the main frame, and to attatch the rod holder to the frame of the toon. I used 3/4" stainless screws to mount it to the frame, and I used on of the quick D ring pins for easy removal of the holder. Sturdy, yet detatchable.[
] I didn't get a chance to weigh it yet, but I'm putting the overall weight at around 2 lbs. I've had it out on the pond a few times now, and it performs quite nicely. The rod holder is on the side of the toon, yet in a position where the oars are not affected by its placement.
