I really like that setup. I think it would be cool to mount that upper platform with the drink holders with friction hinges at the back so you could flip it up to clean the old slim and cut-bait chunks outta there easier. I'm hoping to see how and where it gets mounted.used my limited skills and made a cocktail/bait type table. used some starboard and a $70 battery router. It's not great but passable
I didn't have a good way to get the cupholders to stay since not much really sticks to starboard...so I used a metal strap on the bottom to keep them in place.... which means no hinges on this one. It will be more of a cocktail/bbq table. I have an articulating mount for it and I could also do a rodholder mount. I have another table with rodholder mount I bought off amazon so this one may go on the articulating mount. Even though this is a very capable fishng boat, I don't do a ton of fishing lol so this one won't see alot of bait.I really like that setup.

It's amateur hour at best. My router skills are not great. first time I ever used one to be honest. I'd call it a solid 5 footer.
I bought 2 small pieces of starboard off amazon and that stuff is costly when buying it small. I'm into this table for about $110 bucks and thats' without the mount. I actually modeled it off this table I received as a gift. Point is I made it more as an exercise to see it I could do it. really didnt save any money. I will say that this amazon docktail table is a smoking deal considering I've seen them for 300-500... the rodholder mount isn't the best but the table itself is really nice.
