Been searching for the right cup holder ever since I finished my rebuild. Have yet to run across something I'm willing to pull the trigger on. I've almost bought this one several times, but the mixed reviews have kept me from finalizing the deal. This one would fit the bill since it folds out of the way when not in use, but it looks rather flimsy and the reviews say it wears out quickly.

Looking to mount 3 on my boat to hold various size bottles and cans. What do you guys use?
 
If you are going to use that one - use this one instead - a little less expensive:

However I prefer these as they swivel:

I just set mine on the floor while running or top of the console while fishing. Plastic crap ends up getting broken and I think those look gaudy.

I have a Jesse James mentality, it has to work and look cool too.
 
Best cupholder I've ever had was one of those stainless steel can koozies held onto my deck with a sheetmetal screw and fender washer.
 
Saw someone around here make one out of PVC pipe. Petty neat.
 
Walmart has cup holders made out of plastic which hang on the side (about 2 bucks for 4 holders) which you can mover all over the boat and put away when you are done. I also use bicycle bottle holders bolted on loosely (swivels one way). They are light, strong, won't rust (aluminum) although mine are titanium. Just my 2 cents....here are some pix...have fun.
