1/1/2011- After running around with a wet transom for the past 2 seasons I started noticing the transom flexing. Time to do something about it. Not safe. Got quotes around 6k. Not in the budget. Can I do this myself? probably. Do I want to? Not really. But, what else am I going to do over the winter. After some carefull thought and discussions with the admiral I decided to go for it.

Total out of pocket cost tool and material of this project as of last post: $1206.00 Labor Time: 44 hours.
