Build in a recess..my Guillemot has a similar peak--

Go down about 9 photos from there...it wouldn't even be that hard to retro-fit on a completed boat.

Surface mount...

You could use this mount, but cut a "reverse peak" vee in the bottom of the block to fit the deck of your Tern...I like the recess better.
