A rod holder has a platform with upper and lower planar surfaces, and a support. The support has an upper portion and a lower portion, with the lower portion being rigidly connected to the lower surface of the platform. The lower portion of the support is adapted to be connected to a boat. A first rod receiving member has a first upper end and a first lower end, and a second receiving member has a second upper end and a second lower end. The first and second lower ends are coupled to the upper surface of the platform to pivot the first and second rod receiving members about first and second pivot axes, respectively, while prohibiting the first and second rod receiving members from moving relative to the platform in a direction that is parallel to the first and second pivot axes. The first and second pivot axes are perpendicular to the upper surface.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A fishing rod holder comprising:a platform having a planar upper surface and a lower surface;a support having an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper portion rigidly connected to said lower surface of said platform, and said lower portion adapted to be connected to a boat;a first rod receiving member having a first upper end, a first side and a first lower end with a first opening;a second rod receiving member having a second upper end, a second side, and a second lower end with a second opening;a first fastener extending through said first side and extending through said firstopening; anda second fastener extending through said second side and extending through said second opening,said first and second lower ends being coupled to said upper surface of said platform to pivot said first and second rod receiving members about first and second pivot axes, respectively, while prohibiting said first and second rod receiving members from moving relative to said platform in a direction that is parallel to said first and second pivot axes, and said first and second pivot axes being perpendicular to said upper surface, and said first and second lower ends of said first and second rod receiving members being beveled to enable each of said first and second rod receiving members to be positioned at an angle from said planar upper surface of said platform such that said first and second rod receiving members are inclined with respect to said planar upper surface and not substantially perpendicular to said planar upper surfaces, and said first and second rod receiving members being movable relative to each other to avoid entanglement between a first rod received in said first rod receiving member, a second rod received in said second rod receiving member, and the boat, while fishing.
