Default Re: Transom Replacment?

$8K to replace a transom is absurd! The guy I sold my old o/b Tsunami to just replaced the transom in it in Feb. prior to repowering with twin Evinrude 130's, and replacing the transom and raising it to 30" cost him $2800, and his highest estimate given to him was $3500.
They cut off the glass covering on the back, dug and ground out the wood, sanded, put in new wood, and glassed the original glass & gelcoat back on. It took 4 days.
