IMO its not likely that will hold the way you descibed. Those adjustment "teeth" will likely strip out with that tension.

Boat pics will help too.

Keep in mind also the amount of drag that will be on them depending on what you will be dragging around on them!
If you plan to use them for tuna, you want the heaviest / strongest setups you can get!

I think I am going to have to go with gunnel mounted holders. Im not looking forward to mounting them though. Seems like you need to drill a perfect hole or the riggers will be cockeyed or so ive heard.

Hey I think Jon has a set of those gunnel mounts kicking arround.
if the top shakes with them up high, i doubt lowering them to the support tubes will stop the stress. if there's a cross tube use that somehow to support them. look how Jon has his mounted with wood backing and big U bolts.
there ok off the gunnel. It's tough to fish arround them but someone is usually driving anyways to keep a large fish off the stern corner.
check your pm's I sent you something.
come by sometime.
it's GO time.
