For a 20' boat the bennet tabs should be fine. Like Griff says though, they're not going to help all that much.
Right now I have a set of single ram bennet tabs on my 32' Baja, and they're fine for the boat. You can tell that they have a little trouble handling the weight because they're cupped slightly, but these are single ram (I believe aluminum) plates on a 7200lb. boat. I'm taking them off to install the dual ram plates like you have pictured here. If you're interested I have an extra set of dual piston plates and/or my old setup that will be available in about a month.

NOBODY LIKES THE EDDIE MARINE BETTER THAN THE BENNETT.sorry caps on.i thought the eddie marine which would give me 5 + in. more surface area per side would be a bigger help over all.plus they appear to be machined.and the rams arent made of plastic.

I have eddies on my boat that I just put on over the winter. I havent tried them on water yet. But they sure look good. I know alot of people have bennetts. I just don't like the look of the 12 ga stainless. Compared to the look of aluminum billet. I know it's just personal preference. I know they are cheaper also. Just my .02
