Ummmm yes good point BI... I used the perpendicular plank method underneath. It has worked fine for me. I have also seen some installations where they have been installed lagged into the wooden 4X4 support posts of a dock.
I also want to second Elly's comment about the length of the whips. They have short whips for small boats. They will hold off the advertised wieght however there are clearance issue.
