Need pics of BBC rail kit.....

[BigDoug]

I don't know what a rail kit looks like, so can you post pics of your boat with a rail kit please.
My motor sits in a motor box with bolts going through the stringer to support the motor, so i suppose im looking for a rail kit for a better install, am i on the right track ?....................thanks, Doug :D

How much power you runnin??? Might not be very cost effective if there isn't anything wrong with your setup now.

Mike, stock or very mild 454, i don't want to pull the washers through the stringers is all, they are starting to cave in a little, so i thought a rail kit was my answer ?...............hell, what do i know !! :D

what does your set up look like now? and can you put plates on it?

[BigDoug]

Yes, i probably could just put plates on it but thought a rail kit would look nicer...................maybe im not using the correct terminology when i say "rail kit"......this is a support system used to hold the motor up in between the stringers that look nice.....correct ?

Here you go. Picutures aren't the best they're from my cell phone but I am sure you get the idea.

Doug, a rail kit will definitely solve that problem. But if the stringers are having issues (soft or wet) the rail kit will only be a bandaid to a bigger problem. Here is a pretty basic one I put in my old boat.

Yes, thank you guys !! this is what im talking about.............the camera phone pics look pretty good too !!
Are these expensive ? :D

Here is a lame picture of mine installed. The engine plates are 3/8" (.375" )thick and the rails are 1/4" (.250") thick if that helps.
I think a new set is like $800 from Lightning, you could make some for maybe $150 in metal and a days work. Aluminum is expensive these days.
