[QUOTE="muskyhunter1978, post: 509322, member: 34965"] The transom is the only spot on the boat that is an issue. The rest of the hull is perfect, with barely a mark on it. Carpet is still in great shape, seats look like new, interior in general is very nice for the year. Motor runs great. Full disclaimer, I bought it for 3500. In my neck of the woods, looking at boats comparable were running around 8-10K (covid money). This one was owned by an old couple that kept it in a garage most of its life and just got too old to use it. This boat is definitely worth fixing at the price I got it for and is why I picked it up. I bought, repaired and flipped a couple now and aside from the transom, this is the best as is condition boat I have worked on. Doing the math, I will have approximately $500 in materials. Probably a little more as I plan to upgrade bilge and livewell pumps while I have full access to the pit. Rough breakdown of material costs: 1/16" sheet of aluminum I just purchased - 110.00 3/4" exterior ply - 100.00 Epoxy for joining the metals - 100.00 epoxy for sealing wood - 85 New bolts and hardware to reassemble - 100 or less roughly. TONS OF ELBOW GREASE and TIME. The good news is, i'm in the garage and out of the wifes hair... lol. Below are a couple pics of the rest of the boat for reference. After the boat is back in order the trailer definitely needs a bit of TLC but thats pretty easy stuff. [/QUOTE]
