The Tanner fixed mount is made specifically for some Boston Whaler models like yours.
I prefer the fixed mount as opposed to the knuckle busting, back breaking and bouncing adjustable brackets.
I had an adjustable bracket on my Outrage 17' and couldn't stand it. http://users.sisqtel.net/jkriz/Outrag...7/back.jpg
On the opposite, I prefer the adjustable bracket. That way, you can use a short shaft engine, which are way easier to find and you could also use it on other boats. When not needed, the bracket, which is held to the mount by a simple padlock, can easily be slided out and removed.
If out in the ocean, a higher mounted power head is desirable so the motor doesn't get flooded with salt water and drown.
Also, if you are trailering the boat far, an adjustable bracket bouncing around puts extra strain on the bracket, the motor clamps, the transom, and mounting bolts. Not good in my opinion.
