Thanks guys. I've been trying to post pics. The site keeps telling me that every image is too large (even though they are less than 4mb). I've gotten three quotes: Two of them propose to rebuild the transom with composite and resin and paint. Pricing is $5,000 - $8,000 with me derigging and rerigging. And if they find that core and stringer boxes need replacement, price could be much more. The third is a top Chris Craft restorer. He'll need $8,000 - $12,000 to restore the transom and core/stringers if needed. He's the one who pointed out that the deck needs to be removed, and job would be much less expenseive if he can just swap it over to a sound Ventura hull if I can find and buy one. I think I can get a Ventura with a sound hull for under $3,000
