Need advice on chainplate replacement

I plan to purchase a 1988 IP 38. I have it under contract, but have not surveyed it yet. The chainplates on this boat are original. I want to replace all four chainplates before I take it offshore. After doing some research on this issue, I have learned that the chainplates are fiberglassed into the hull and difficult to replace. I have also learned that the IP factory will sell replacement chainplates and perform the work for about $10K. This boat is currently near St Augustine, FL. I would prefer to have the work done somewhere on the East coast of Florida (or further North) rather than take the boat all the way around to the IP factory on the West coast of Florida.

Does anyone know of a yard/contractor on the East coast of Florida (or further North) who has experience with this particular repair? I would really like to find somebody who knows what they're doing to perform this important task.
Thanks

I I have an 1990 IP 32-2. I had mine done at Embree Marine in St. Petersburg Fl. 3 years ago. They are very familiar with the IP chain plate issues, having done many. This is not an easy job, all furniture has to come out to gain access, the old ones have to be ground out, new ones fabricated by Garhour in Ca. and glassed back in. Then the furniture all goes back in. It took them a month and I visited every week. When mine was done, I could not tell anyone had been there. Embree did an excellent job for about 6K.

It seems Embree Marine charged a good price for it. Would you recommend them over going to the IP Factory?
