Boat Buckle doesn't offer an all stainless version of the Mini, as they do with the G2. On the # IMF106877 you referenced, the spring itself is stainless, but the remainder of the unit is constructed of plastic and steel.

If a 4 foot ratcheting strap set-up would work for you, rather than the bolted in place Boat Buckle offers the # IMF12066 in stainless. If you were really wanting a bolted in place solution, the full-sized version # IMF14256 would work for you.
