				 Re: To buy or not to buy-needs transom 
 
			
			That job here in Louisiana would run about $2000 - $2500 (I checked recently). I had the transom done in my old 75' in 1993 and it was $1500.  If you're not going to DIY, then I'd pass if your looking at $4500. Keep in mind however that probably any V you look at will have transom problems by now unless its been fixed already.  
 Good luck
 Maury
