Transom,To do or not to do, myself

[kglynn]

Question?

I looked at a 1969 20' Seacraft today, looks like a good project boat, needs transom, I am pretty handy and have glass repair experience, but have never undertook such a large and important piece of equiptment project, as a transom, looking for comments or suggestion, and estimated cost to have someone do the transom, all ready have some one to do all the paint work

thanks,
Kev

From what I have been able to come up with, a new transom in your area (S. Florida) is going to run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500-2500 to have professionally done. That is JUST the transom.

I also forgot, for any one in the south Fla. area, any recomendations for professionals who would be able to do the job

Check with Viper Boats out on Southern Blv just west of the turnpike there in West Palm. I think they do custom work besides building the viper flats. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

somewhere in the archives of this site is a post on the amount of beverage that should be budgeted into the various projects when redoing a boat. I suggest looking that up and stocking up accordingly [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I think one member even posted a chart whereby you could determine how many ounces were required for a given number of square feet of work...
