Rod holders are one of those fishing boat equipment pieces that change how you use your deck. You need something that fits your rail or gunnel, holds the rods you carry, and stands up to the marine environment. The four options here cover distinct installation styles, so the decision comes down to mounting surface, rod count, and budget.
Quick Take
Four rod holders for fishing boats cover a wide range of setups: a 6-tube stainless rack for wall storage, a pair of stainless outrigger holders, a 316-clamp rail mount set, and a 4-rod gunnel rack. Each price point serves a different installation style, so the best choice depends on where you need to mount it and how many rods you carry.

Product Notes
6 Tubes Boat Rod Holder Stainless Steel Boat Fishing Rod Rack for Yacht/Truck RV
At USD 59.99, this Amarine Made rack gives you six tubes. The stainless steel construction is described as lightweight and removable, with a rolled top and bottom to avoid sharp edges. The solid stick across the base helps position the rod butt and lets water drain, which is handy for a yacht, truck, or RV. The trade-off is that it's designed for mounting against a wall or side, so it works best there rather than in an opening.
2X Stainless Steel Fishing Outrigger Holder Boat Rod Holder for Marine Boat
The Marine-baby pair lists at USD 52.70, the lowest listed price here. These stainless steel outrigger holders include a 1-1/2" inner diameter and a 14" arm, and the features mention saltwater and flush mount use. If you have a suitable opening, this is a straightforward option. The limitation is that the tube length is about 10.2", and the fixed 1-1/2" inner diameter means it's meant for a specific rod butt size, not a range.
2X Marine 316 Stainless Steel Fishing Rod Holder for Boat 1-1/4"-2" Rail Mount
For USD 53.93, this M-ARINE BABY set brings a 316 stainless clamp plus a 304 stainless tube. It fits rails from 1-1/4" to 2" and offers an I.D. range from 1.75" to 2.2", with deck mount, side mount, adjustable, and removable attributes. That makes it a good fit for different surfaces. The catch is that the tube uses 304 stainless, so the entire holder isn't 316; if you want uniform 316, this mixed-material setup is a point to factor in.
Dev Fishing Adjustable Multi Pole 4x Fishing Rack Holders for Boat Rod Holder
The highest listed price in this comparison is USD 119.99 for this Dev Fishing rack. It's an aluminum, gunnel-mounted holder set that holds up to four rods, with a grey weather-resistant paint finish. The adjustable angles of 0, 15, or 30 degrees are unique among these four products and make it easy to switch from trolling to vertical storage. The downside is the higher cost and the aluminum build, which is lighter than stainless but not the same material.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you need the most rods stored vertically, choose the 6 Tubes Amarine Made rack. If you want a rail-mounted pair with a 316 clamp, the M-ARINE BABY 316 set is the one. For the lowest listed price and a direct outrigger design, pick the Marine-baby pair. For four rods with multiple angle settings, the Dev Fishing rack is the option. The right choice depends on your boat's rail or gunnel layout, the rod count you need, and whether you prefer stainless or aluminum. Matching the mount style to your deck will give you the most useful setup.
