Yes sir. About $475 for the three 5 gal buckets plus activator. I did use about half a gallon on poly resin to coat the insides. I'll need a little more to seal the vertical sections of the transom that are open to the inside. I'll make sure I have a pic of that so you can see what I'm talking about. I spent $10 at harbor freight on the 2' drill bits and I picked up a few other things that I thought would help that I ended up not needing. And I had to buy the 3' x 3" steel bar that I used to scrape the remaining wood off the inside ( I don't have as much junk lying around as I used to - my wife makes me keep it clean). Anyway, that bar at Lowes was about $10. All in all, probably not much more that $550. If you can get a chainsaw that will reach the limits of wood throughout the entire transom, that is the ticket. Mine was to small so I had to resort to physical labor. I could have rented a 24" for $65, but I was dumb and said I don't want to spend that. In hindsight, I should have rented it and been done with it in no time. Hopefully pics when I get home tonight.
