I had similar thoughts when setting up my down riggers. Somewhere I found a recommended boom length for 10 lb weights on Lund track systems. I looked at track lengths and ball weights for Salmon and decided to mount on plywood decking with extra plates on top and underneath to sandwich and use nuts on screws. handles long boom and 15 lb weights nicely. I added an OC mount on boom for stiffness while stowed.
