[QUOTE="bikerider, post: 460065, member: 23591"] You're welcome :). My first choice would be inset cupholders too, but since I don't have cabinets or wood seats I made do with the cheap plastic cup holders you can find at almost any auto parts store. I have a couple smaller ones, like what would hold a can of pop and two larger ones that will hold a larger thermos bottle. On the back you will see I just hooked them over the edge of the transom and then used the existing bolts going into the transom to secure them in place. I put a piece of tape over the screw heads to keep them from scaring my water bottles. I wanted a cup holder for my passenger(s) too so I had to get a little creative for the side mounted one. I did not want to drill holes in the boat so I cut a few small pieces of scrap wood I had into a mount that would basically clamp to the gunwale after being screwed together. Then I just cut the very end off the plastic cup holder, screwed it down and painted the wood silver to tie in with the boat. In hindsight I would have cut the bottom wood piece a bit shorter but oh well. The rear cupholders have held up well. I've been out on the water many times since adding them. The side one has done well so far, but time will tell if it stays that way. [/QUOTE]
