23 Transom Replacement

[htillman]

I have removed the top cap and in the process of removing old transom. I have several basic questions:
1. What is the thickness of the plywood.
2. Approximately how much exposy will be required to install a new transom.
3. The boat is a Sceptre and I plan on having someone Awlgrip the boat - what type of cost should I expect and how many gallons of paint?
I will post some pictures in the very near future of this project.
