Where might I find more info on this subject.

The work is not hard. You would have to check with an expert to see if your rig will support an innerstay. Both my headsails are furled with the same size drum. This way if need be one can be used to replace the other.
If you want a hank on staysail it will be relatively cheap. I am guessing, but on a 30ft. boat probably about $500 for stay, blocks, sheets, and attaching points. A little research through the West Marine catalogue will give you a better idea. Of course furling will add another $1k give, or take a couple of hundred bucks. I think Kai is aware of an inexpensive furling that is reliable too.......i2f
