Lots of guys on here have done this chainsaw and pour method themselves. $4k is alot of money...I don't know what your motor situation is but if I had that kind of cash it would be spent on a newer motor.
My transom is also bad and I plan to tear mine out and pour in Nida-core. The thread that I have found to be the best example of just the transom repair is the one from MauryC. Look it up and check it out and see if you think you could tackle it yourself. The Nida-core is gonna cost $375 for 15gal. I went with Nida-core solely based on price. For you the shipping charges are gonna hurt. I researched 3 companies that make the stuff, but unfortunatly for you they're all in Florida. Good luck to ya. I may be back on here after my job saying "I wish I wouldn't have gotten in to that mess!"...but we'll see.
