Just bought my first boat. 18' aluminum starcraft, 115hp evinrude with the trailer. Got it all for a $1000. A local shop tells me that the transom needs to be replaced. Is this something I could do myself.

Re: newbie

Yup, you can do it. I managed and the boat hasn't sunk yet. People on this forum are geniuses and very helpful, they'll save you from a lot of mistakes. Best advice I learned on here, never use silicone to seal anything, it's the quickest way to sink. Good luck and enjoy!
