Bob,
I looked up your hull for a picture (Dauntless 160 2006 Yachtworld for sale). Have you considered a rod holding transom bar that would attach at the stern (looks like existing railing might work for support). I have had no luck finding a clamp mount rod holder that could stand up to trawling that would not make me cringe for how tight I had to screw down (it would still move, scratch stainless, or casting would crack) for the horizontal stainless rails. Drift fishing or use of downrigger, no problems. Whalerbob turned me onto "C.E. Smith midmount rod holder 53610A" that mount on my vertical stainless rail support posts but it looks from the picture not many 90 degree verticals on you boat. Maybe using the fully adjustable clamping holders on your angled vertical supports.
