You know looking at the price of the ready to go kits around $4K sure seems like you can piece together your own kit sourcing parts from non-marine places for many of the parts for about half of that. I have not sat down and gone through this exercise yet but I will try.

For a single engine boat, get the longest stroke rams you can fit. It will make docking easier.
Most steering companies will have diagrams on their websites with the needed measurements.

Go drive a cheap craftsman lawn tractor around your yard and get a feel of the steering wheel and the play in it. Then get in a new corvette and do the same. That is the difference between the two. Jeff wurl
