A hardware system for mounting upon a fishing boat includes one or more cylindrical frame members and a plurality of fishing rod holders, each having cylindrical base portion sized for sliding insertion over one of the frame members for linear movement along and 360.degree. rotational movement about the axis thereof. In a first embodiment, first and second frame members are mounted at laterally opposite deck portions of the boat in parallel, vertical orientation with a third frame member extending horizontally between and attached to the vertical members. In a second embodiment, a cylindrical frame member extends horizontally between supports on opposite sides of the upper surface of a hard-top cabin covering; the connecting means permit the use of flat mounting plates with sloping side edges of the hard-top covering. In a preferred method of installation of the first embodiment, the distance between the vertical members is measured after mounting of the lower ends thereof to the boat and the horizontal member is then cut to the proper length for mounting between and connection to the vertical members, thus permitting the assembly of a frame system with boats within a range of widths at the position of frame member mounting.
