Just bought my first boat, and I am beginning to notice some cracks all around the transom. The boat is a 1976 Mel Hart with '76 150hp merc. What should I do to fix the transom. Don't know if I should even be worried. But I called around and a guy said it would be around 1200 bucks!!! The boat only cost me $1500. If this is the case I may just turn right around and sell it. Thanks for your help.
