easiest way to get a set of plates that fit your boat is to make them.

Buy yourself a set of transfer punches and the plates practically make them selves. Insert punches to equal depth, place plate on the punch tips and hold the plate still while you tap on the material just above each punch. Voila. Hoels are located all you have to do is cut the plates and locate the crankshaft centerline correctly.
Or, if you want for a small fee i will make the templates for you out of masonite and you can copy them, plus you have them for future use. PM me if interested.

Nope, not a machinist. I made my rail kit with a file, table saw, jig saw and a drill press. Took way too long the first time.(located all the holes by hand).
If you are lazy then you probably want to buy one all done for you and just trim it to fit(no two boats will use the same rail kit)
