Transom on 1986 bowrider
So I just bought this boat and... famous words of someone making a huge mistake I'm sure. It is a 19 foot bowrider. After thorough inspection I'm at the conclusion that the transom needs replacing. I am hearing it will cost about 4k if I take it somewhere. my brother in law flips boats he explained that I could strip the wood put in a new board then instead of glassing use a metal plate seal it and then use bed liner. He said it has worked for him a couple times. Opinions please, as I have never done glass work before. I do have pictures but I am having a hard time uploading.
