I purchased a boat back in May of this year and the gentleman started it up and told me everything about the boat. He tried to tell me that he just had it all checked out by a marina in South Carolina and they claimed that all that was wrong with the boat was the motor mount boxes were weak and needed to be redone. Now I have found out that all the wood in this boat is rotten and needs to be replaced. I just got done replacing all the seats, trim boards, and bow cushions with marine plywood to find out last night that my boat guy tells me I will need a whole new transom and stringers. The question I have is when do you decide enough is enough? Should I go on and finish the boat or part it out? I have about $2700 in it right now. It is a gorgeous boat with a very clean hull and the engine checks out great along with the outdrive. Please give me some advise and let me know if anyone has a ballpark of what it costs to fix something of this nature.:facepalm:
