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.

Re: Transom Replacment?
I'm not sure why it's so expensive around here. Some of you know I have received estimates as high as $14K for the same transom job. This guy wants to put "transom stringers" in...what ever they are. The guy who wants $14K was going to put knees in like the newer SeaCraft (2003 and later).
One thing that adds to the cost is having to remove deck area in front of the engines. It's all one piece all the way to the bow.
