Well...I made the plunge and bought my first yak. It is a Malibu X-13 from West Marine (on sale right now for $685). Unfortunately, it does not have any rod holders so I will have to pick up a couple and install them (I already ordered my rivet gun from amazon). Any recommendations on good flush mounted rod holders and the best place to purchase them?

I like the Ram holders. I ordered them directly from Ram Mounts, but, if you create a log in for Austin Kayak, they send you a 20% discount. I'll send I think I have one in my email right now, I'll send it to ya in a PM if you're inetrested. You getting the rubber or plastic kayak rivits too?

Never mind about the coupon, I went to my email and checked, I emptied my trash folder a couple of days ago, The coupon is gone, sorry.

I only saw the metal rivets advertised when I looked last night. I was wondering about how long they would last in the salt water. I guess I had better look again.

They're probably a specialty item. Might check w/ Pensacola Sail and Kayak or West to see if they have them in stock to save shipping.
