I finally remembered to snap a picture of these while I had the boat uncovered.
These are rock solid and I did not have to drill any holes in the boat. The bracket that bolts to the boat is bent aluminum flat bar. The uprights are 1/2" cold rolled round stock that I threaded on either end centered inside 1 1/2" conduit. The conduit was an afterthought as the round bar was just a bit too bouncy and needed some reinforcement. The cross bar on the top is another piece of aluminum flat bar. All of the rod holders I bent from 1/4" cold rolled and welded on top of a 3/8" bolt.
