The price is certainly right, Ben. But I'm curious where you'd be mounting them. I know you mention rail mounting but I can see the "load" swinging once you're underway. It's one thing to have a static load (20#) but once the natural movement of the boat takes over that 20# static load starts a pendulum motion I'm guessing that would put stress on the clamps that they weren't designed for. Just a thought.
In terms of an alternative, I've see purpose-designed propane tank "boxes" (designed to fit the tank into and also providing a drainage hole at the bottom for any stray leakage) people have either mounted to their deck if there's space, or in one case, screwed to the transom.
