Wow ....what can you say

Like Scott said that does seem like an incredibly steep estimate for "repairing" the transom....sounds more like a replacement [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] edit : missed your comment above !!!

Hope things work out for you and that you get a new hull with the improved transom ..... If that repair is deemed as faulty workmanship and or poor design(which it sounds like it is based on what you mention above) I don't know how they CAN'T replace the hull !!!
