Ditto, and I'd hate to think how you're going to mount it on your 12" water heater. It will just be too heavy and cumbersome.
There are several 9x50 RA finders out there, or you can even make your own RA 1x mirror finder like BD has done, do a search or BD himself may post the link to the thread.
I certainly wouldn't spend over $100 on a finderscope, the extra money will be well served on a premium eyepiece
