Looking for a trustworthy firm to install electric downriggers

[spoiler]

I live out in Chilliwack and work in Langley. I had to good fortune to get two free electric downriggers.
I have a 16' Smokercraft Alaskan boat with a walk-through windshield and 60hp outboard.
I'm looking for a reputable company to mount the electric downriggers on my boat.
The trick is that some type of mounting plate will have to be fabricated in order connect the downriggers.
any suggestions of a company in the Fraser Valley including Langley, Surrey and beyond would be appreciated.
I have heard of too many nightmares of shoddy workmanship and exorbitant prices for work on boats so I'm at bit cautious.

Post a couple of pics from your gunnels and see if other forum members can give you a few tips. There’s Maple Marine in Langley that I’ve heard good reviews about them.

I wouldn’t recommend maple marine.

For fabrication of the mounts I highly recommend KC Welding in North Vancouver. www.kcwelding.ca

This is what i did to my boat, i'm sure it will work for yours, put some height on it so your not bending down so far, a swivel base is on top of the mount for even more height.

I’ll give a plug for @noluck as well. He’s not far off the highway and I’ve seen some of his work. Fair and top notch work. If I needed this done, he would be my choice

I got them done by a guy who is just starting out as a fabricator in Vancouver, i would just get someone close to you
so it would keep the cost down, just copy my design or make something close to it that works for your boat.
