You might be able to do it for that, but if you have someone else do it you've got to pay for their labor. Good workmanship usually doesn't come cheap. As to your question of "who?" Where are you located? Maybe someone here can help you find a good yard nearby, or maybe it's worth towing it a hundred miles or two to get to a good yard.
If you are considering having it done, check around, get as many opinions as possible from people who have had similar work done, and check out their finished products. While you're talking to "the man" and he's working up a quote for you, look around at his works-in-progress. Do your homework. If someone's price is a lot lower than anyone else's, there's likely a good reason. All the while remembering that what you have is a 30-year-old boat that you're considering investing a chunk of money in, and that you're not likely to recoup that investment if you decide to sell it in a year or two. You may decide it's not worth it. Or . . . if you're like me . . . you might just go ahead and pull the trigger. Check out my gallery -- pages 1-3 show what my boat went through, pretty much from start to finish.
