The guy I spoke with there was Greg Vogel. He was a wealth of information and not a pushy salesman. Might be worth a call or email exchange.

I agree with you. If they are installed by a professional yard who's done it before or at the factory as a listed option, I would definitely go for it, they do look great and the design is excellent. However, I would need to do it here in Egypt on my own and I would not feel very comfortable drilling holes in my hull. I will contact Greg Vogel and discuss with him the installation procedure and find out the degree of difficulty. Thanks again Evan.
