[frers-list]MAST STEP

[john ricci]

Frank,
I just had mine done at Marblehead Trading company
here is Mass. and it cost $3,300 .. as far as time
goes... I am unsure what that actual part of my
repairs that  took up... but that seemed low because I
heard others paid up to $6,000 for the same work...
Good luck and I will let others discuss the dangers...
