It's winter - you might find a nice system somebody is selling.
Over the summer I found like-new Marine Machine rams and wingplate/bolts/hardware for $700. By the time I'm done with Stainless lines, I'll be about $1K into it. Might even go full hydraulic. The Marine Machine wingplate is built like a tank and weighs a ton - thank god it's being offset by aluminum heads!
That sounds like a deal. What heads are you using & what are you putting them on.
