			Sorry to hear that.  Give it some time.  Lots of people here to give FREE knowledge and advice on fixing her.

			Just can't give her up that easy. I found someone who does excellent fiberglass boat repair and he is going to replace the transom. I will be removing the engine, and other dis-assembly in preparation. We are so happy and this will be much less expensive that purchasing another boat. We will be ready for fall salmon and crab! '0-4-Pete's-sake!

			After looking at the cost of replacing her (my boat, not my wife) we've decided to have her repaired. Tomorrow it's off to the transom doctor. I then need a new outer transom plate. And this all started with the gimbal bearing!

			Yep it's usually cheaper to keep her, both wives and boats.   And both are more desirable without soggy transoms too.

			I like a soft transom for one, not the other. I like a softail ride myself.

			Here are the latest pics of the transom repair. Waiting for the transom plates to be installed before bringing home for engine install.

			Good deal, she'll be good as new or even better!
