Re: Transom,To do or not to do, myself
Re doing the transom yourself in not difficult from the technical point of view. It is just plane hard work. If you did it yourself you are looking at 2 gal of epoxy = $200. then either 1 ˝” marine plywood = $100 or the new composite material = $300. plus beer and some other little things= $100. total from $400. to $600. plus your time 5 to 10 days. You can also paint the boat yourself and save another $3000 to $5000 just on that. With all the savings you can buy lots of new stuff for the boat. I have found that a novice “with a strong desire doing work on their dream boat” usually does just about as good a job as a pro who uses $7. a hour unskilled help that actually do the work on your boat. Think about it.
