Hayden,

Too bad. I think their estimate, abiet a wide one, is reasonable. It could be more, too. I'd get several opinions, if posible.

I found one spot on my boat that was like that but only 2" long. Luckily, we had the fuel tank out and it was not in the stringer, so it was easy to fix. They will probably have to remove the console, fuel tank and all of the flooring.

You could consider doing some of the work yourself and letting them do the hard stuff. Good Luck!
