How bad do you want one? The newer SC boats style would have to come from a dealer.
I did a lot of looking some time ago and wasn't overly excited about the options - cost and mods required to fit one in or to have one custom made.So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

I will try to get a pic tonight. I do not think it will be easy mod, but it might be an easy replacement. You might have to buy the entire u shaped aluminum frame.

Here you go.
It appears that the pylon sleeve is part of the aluminum framework. I do not think it can be bought separately. I think you will have to purchase the entire u shaped frame which just bolts in.Joe

Totally different than the 2013's - the square mount in my boat is going to make it tough for sure!

few of us brainstormed about this a few years ago. Some interesting ideas popped up - including some coming from the factory guys.
The idea was dropped because to do it, (in our opinion) it required some serious modification to the aluminum engine compartment frame - including cutting and welding.
If someone can pick up the ball and run with it - you'd be a huge hero.
I hate accidentally sitting on that darn thing!
