On Rhapsody when they removed the rivets holding the spreader bracket steel plate, there were stress cracks through many of the holes in the mast. Hall Spars ended up grinding the cracks out, heliarc weld filling, then grinding it smooth. If you have any complications like this, you'll need a pro. My repair ended up costing $850, much cheaper than replacing the mast if the rig came down - a very possible event given what was hidden. Bill

I am going to get a spreader thru bar (or something) to make certain that my rig doesnt fail there. So I had my marine services pro call Cory @ Hall, and the estimate is a whopping surprise. $950 for the kit, plus 16 hours installation = $1250 labor = $2200 out the door price. What is going on? I read the above $850 out the door price for Cory's /Hall's work and that sounds great, but $2,000+ is almost a deterrent instead of a fix ! Did everyone else spend that kind of coin ? Is there another way ? HELP! Dell

No. Hall is selling the kit to my local guy who is installing it. It sure does sound like a lot of time.
