Looking for a good option for rod holders that is tidy that I can use to troll with if I wanted but trying to avoid it being in the way. I was wanting flush mounts back but not real sure where to mount them due to the foam filled areas. Anybody have some ideas?

I got one mounted on both corner in the back and as you can see. I some custom rod holder right in front of the motor. Hope this help.

I've just realized there's no flush mounted holder on the corner. Guess I didn't put it on yet at the time.

Custom Marine Concepts in Spring built this rod holder for my Seaark. It's a permanent mount, but it is at the transom and doesn't interfere with anything when not being used. For my cap rail, which is extruded aluminum like yours, I used Driftmaster rod holder bases also shown in the photo. The cap rail is thick and plenty strong to be drilled and tapped for machine screws. The bases are drilled for #8 screws, but they could be drilled out for #10 if you think you need more strength. I didn't think I needed it.
You could put two Driftmaster bases on each side, close to the transom, and run two rods on each side in a spider configuration.
I wouldn't worry too much about having to cut out any of the flotation. I removed quite a bit to install these Plano tackle box holders on each side of the leaning post.

I've had a pair of these mounted horizontally and outward on the back of my boat for years and they work great. Advertised to mount vertical but they do work horizontal. Removable when you want them out of the way. I didn't search for best price for this link, more to show what they look like. Have held up well to years of saltwater use, I just slide them out and flush out when rinsing the boat. We've caught a bunch of big sharks and bull reds drifting the beach front and kingfish trolling with rods in these holders, never any problem with rods falling out with big fish on, but I wouldn't use to hold rods when running. Mount so the rods are going out to the sides like outriggers.
