Be careful with the cradle idea, one broke pin and you are sending it to garmin for repair (warranty doesn't cover).
I would suggest watching for a used 93 plus, ive seen them go for as low as $350 on here.
Or if you must move unit, use something like a ram mount and move the whole thing, unhooking power/ducer from cradle each time.
