might as well add the runners to it also , make it a lot easier to move or relocate the engine if you add something to the driveline , like a jetaway ..

Don't think you do . you might need some longer bolts to go through the engine plate and the bellhousing ..

The rear mount on a 4 point is different than a 3 point. The rear 3 point does not have any place to bolt feet to go to the stingers, but you can most likely use the front one. The advantage of a rail kit is when you need to relocate the motor for what ever reason you can drill new holes in the rail and not your sringers :smile30:Patchman said:
With it being a 1/4 stringer boat, doesn't seem like it has much room in the way of re-locating the motor with out major mods. I do think that the rail kit would distribute the load better. I wan't to get rid of the 3 point mount and like the Harmin system for OE parts seems like a good design. think.gif

See now I can tell you know GhostRider for sure, talkin about huggin big nuts & stuff, lol...
At any rate, I hear ya on the 1/4 stringer deal. You may find a 4 point deal fairly cheap from someone that has changed over to a rail system. As David said, you may be able to re-use the stuff you have on the front, just have to find a rear plate & the mounting feet/blocks... I'll look around, I find something I let ya know. :wink: :grin:
