You are missing the strongest and least expensive and easiest to use. About 39 bucks. Composite construction does not leave me with a "feeling of strength." The one shown below has been used on all of my boats and there is simply nothing to go wrong -- and it is extruded aluminum. No rust, no fuss, lockable, and it's available right here on iBoats.

Silvertip, does that thing rattle really bad tho? I'm looking for something solid. Looks like it had a screw on the side to take out any wobble and lock into place?

At half the cost it's the new leader in my search. I hope it'll fit a Terrova, if not I have a welder.

I have the first one you posted now. I don't have any real time on it but it holds the motor securely and is very quiet. I believe the locking pieces are stainless too. It adds an inch to the height of the TM. I like it allot.

FWIW, I had one similar to the unit SILVERTIP recommends. Used it for 13 years and found little to no rattle but I did (after 6-7 years of occasional SW exposure) get some rusting of the slide bar/lock device. Main section was AL, lock, steel so there was dissimilar metal corrosion. Not sure if that's been resolved with newer versions.
