I pulled most of my engine ,,then took it to a shop and had them pull the block.and upper outdrive.......while at the shop the guy called and told me the whole transom was rotted and probobly the stringers and floor ...it was very sad ...i took back my boat and a week later took it to a fiberglass specialist ,who inspected it , he said the stringers and floor are healthy ,but there is rot 6 inches around the out drive mounting plate ,he proposes to cut out the 6 inches of rot and some additional area into the good stuff ,and then layer in a patch fix with marine grade and polyester resin ,,,i insisted [due to readings on this forum] that he use epoxy resin ,he said it would cost more .....he will be calling me back in a couple days with a quote , he mentioned between 500$ to 800$ ...im wondering if i shouldent try to get the whole transome replaced [ being the right way?] or if this is an appropriate fix...
