Your question leaves many questions in order to get you some numbers. It's like body work on an automobile. Once you get started and open things up, sometimes there is surprises and other issues that need correcting. Insurance ajusters need to see the vehicle. I'm sure the boat repair establishments also will need to see your hull to give you a ruff idea of costs
Some issues you need to consider:
- What type of bracket are you using (Single or Double, Fiberglass or Metal)
- What hardware needs replacing
- Plumbing changes or additions (Livewell, Self Bails,Bilge etc)
- Don't forget a bracket extends out a few feet and you will need longer Electrical Cables, Wiring Harness, Shift Cables Hydrolic Hoses or Steering Cables, Fuel lines.
- Painting (are you doing the work or not) Outisde and Inside the new Transom, Deck Joint, Cap, Inner liner)
- Any Deck issues (repairs needed)and painting, non-skid
- Fuel Tank and Lines (your boat is 26 yrs old, it'time)
- Engine de-rigging and remounting after
These are just a few things for thought. I would make a complete list of what you want done and then have it for each glass guy so you have estimates that are comparable. I'm sure other forum members will jump in here and give you some more food for thought. Good Luck [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
