The holes are above the water line and I think that it looks better than the bracket mount andddd since there is no wood in the transom no rot to worry about. I got the 8' Pro model for ~$1400. What you will find is that the JL Marine has it's dealers locked in on price and they cannot negotiate the price of the pole itself. What can vary is the installation cost and possible options the dealer is willing to throw in.

Good luck.

How long did the install take you? Could you do it by yourself or did you need help?
