I love our two Pro Ex and like others, attest to the quality service Malibu provides.
Have you considered a Scotty rod holder extension? The extension will raise your rodholder high enough that the butt of your rod will not hit the side of of your kayak and thus give you more vertical adjustments. The extension will also raise your rod so that your feet will not become entrapped with your rod should you capsize.
I like the flush mount with Scotty, becasue when I stow my gear or am just horsing around in the surf, I have a smooth deck.
I do recommend that you use a backing plate for reinforcement under your deck. Consider going to a plastic shop and purchasing a small piece of 3/8 inch thick plastic and screw everything together with stainless steel screws & nuts. Don't forget your sealant aroung all wholes and get a pvc cap for the bottom of the flush mount.
This is a really cool project.
