    Rick, it's not that difficult. As long as the transom wood is good just taper the hole from the inside and screw a flat piece on the ouside and glass from the inside. Install wood to build up to existing level. Add knees and glass if going to outboards. Depending on finish needed and intended use, could be as low as 1000 up or up to 2500 bucks. Just a rough estimate.

    Actually it is 3 or less, traffic dependent. Did that drive 8 times a month for better than 12 years. But I wasn't really trying to get Cullen involved..just having some fun...

    I defer to your knowledge but why does it take me 3 hours to get from Stuart to Ft Myers? Am I doing something wrong for the past 23 years Now using your Bing maps it says 4 hrs from Stuart to Cape Coral but its 3. So one of us is speeding

    My hardest job now-a-days is deciding what boat to run. I'm leaving the glass work to the young guys...
