    Squirtcha has a nice rail kit i think. I remember seeing his alternator mounted to the front plate. Maybe he can post a picture of his.

    You could use 3/8 alum. plate for the motor plates, 2 x 2 x 1/4 structural alum. for the rails and 1/4 x 2 alum. for the backing plates if you chose that route instead of just using stringer washers. Rex has the pillow blocks,Mpd may have them as well.
    It looks pretty trick when you mill the slots into the rails and backing plates, i havent gotten around to milling mine.I also like the look when the rail is about 1/2 inch below the top of the stringer like in these photos.

    Notice the 3/8 bolts that mount the rails, they are offset of each other for strength . take your time and think it all out before you start drilling.Check for things like the bolts holding the pillows blocks to the rails interfering with the bolts coming through the stringer, get long enough bolts that will stick out past the nylock nut at least 1/4 inch.Have fun.

    I have pics of mine on my website, but nothing on ***boat.
    Not as much bling as MPD'S.

    Brian, how well do those urethane mounts hold up on your rail kit? Have you tested the difference between the solid mounts? Any difference in vibration? How much?
