[QUOTE="trollingman, post: 501519, member: 34077"] I expect to complete a full service on the engine. I know my way around engines and wiring so that part I'm less concerned with. I'll check out the transom and get some pictures. Is the accepted method to pull up and down on the motor watching for the transom to flex and tap it with a rubber mallet listening for a hollow sound? Is there a better way to make sure it's good? The guy is asking $3k, I wasn't planning on going more than $2k if the motor has good compression. I plan a full rebuild of the deck, foam, wiring, fuel and water lines. I have the tools and ability, the knowledge can be gained. You can see the plywood delaminating in the pictures so I wouldn't think any of it can stay. Hopefully it's all good enough to get out and use as a template. What would a rough estimate for a project like this be? Could I get it done in the $3-5k range for the interior of the boat? Thanks for your advice and input. [/QUOTE]
