Thanks, Ed.
Going to talk to the Marina Yard's mechanic in morning for his assessment. So if we used the type of mount you showed earlier, we would need to lower stringers by about two inches? We'll have to modify them whatever we do if we move forward with the A4. I was thinking the modification would be more of an extension, but it sounds like you're suggesting an entire new support structure. How feasible (and expensive) is that?

Pics of what Jim did this past weekend...took him a day and a half. That said, if you have a running or salvagable A4 the mods to the rails is the way to go.

If you're a fiberglass guy (disclaimer: I'm not), I'm told this is a relatively straightforward procedure. Access is going to drive the level of effort required more than anything, which will in turn drive the price.

So talk to a fiberglass guy, not the mechanic.
