Transom,To do or not to do, myself

[FELLOW-SHIP]

Re doing the transom yourself in not difficult from the technical point of view. It is just plane hard work. If you did it yourself you are looking at 2 gal of epoxy = $200. then either 1 ½” marine plywood = $100 or the new composite material = $300. plus beer and some other little things= $100. total from $400. to $600. plus your time 5 to 10 days. You can also paint the boat yourself and save another $3000 to $5000 just on that. With all the savings you can buy lots of new stuff for the boat. I have found that a novice “with a strong desire doing work on their dream boat” usually does just about as good a job as a pro who uses $7. a hour unskilled help that actually do the work on your boat. Think about it.
