Where are you? If your in south Florida you should check with Parker yacht, hermco, or wildfire marine, in no particular order.

Ryan don't be such a goof - everybody knows "Down Here" is due south of "Up There". Thanks to global warming it's hotter "Down Here" than it is "Up there" too! (well unless you are south of the equator). Also as Agua Chico pointed out, unlike "Up There" someone good is more expensive than someone that is just OK. I looked back on the posts and the boat has FL (Flor-duh) in the registration numbers so we just need to figure out if "Up There" is Crestview or Flamingo! I think that is a Royal Palm in the background so he must be south of SR-70. It's kinda like Dora the Explorer!

Forgot to post location. I'm in Boca Raton, FL (South Florida). Hermco quoted $15,000 for enclosed transom, bracket, deck, & tank. But then a local SeaCraft guy talked me out of putting a bracket on it because it changes the ride.

Good luck either way...

Thank you. I'll get it worked out. Just think on top of all this I'm a Dolphins fan to. Lol.

If you go with wood instead of composites for the rebuild you should easily be able to get it done with your budget.

Your rite about the bracket thing, not so good on 20's... This coming from a guy with at bracketed 20. It can be done and ride ok but it takes balance and attention to other things to get it right. It is not a throw it on there and go thing. Spot on getting a quote from Hermco tho. I don't personally know him but I have read, seen, and been told about how good his work is. If you are not up to the repair get him to do a transom replacement and fix the damage and ride. No bracket will probably knock a 1/3 off the cost to fix it and you will have something much more special when done than just buying another new style production boat.
