Is the transom bad already?

If anyone has a better price within a few hours drive of New Orleans, please share it. What should I expect to pay for this repair?

As to whether I love this boat, I haven't had it long enough to decide whether this is the boat that I want for the long term. It rides well but I sure wish that it didn't ride so wet under so many conditions. The floor is largely in good shape. The gas tank hatch and fish box hatch needs to be recored. On the plus side, I just finished a comprehensive rewire of the boat.
