With that being said, about 17k less the labor myself and my 10yr old son (rightful owner) put in. Compared to what that would buy new (or even used) it's a steal. I'm not independently wealthy by any means, and tackled it by doing what I could when I could, both time wise and financially. Trust me, it's a rewarding experience, especially when you are complimented by both people who know what they're looking at and those that don't. Do it; take your time, enjoy the entire process and with that the end number won't bother you.
Is the cost of the motor included in your 17K estimate, if that's the case, what do you figure you have in it without the cost of the motor ?
Hope you don't mind me asking but I may be doing mine sometime soon.

Default Cost without motor

Sorry for the delayed reply sidelock. I paid 7k for the merc so 10k for the hull. The basic breakdown would be 1200 for the hull/trailer, 5k for a new transom, misc. glasswork like recoring the casting deck and hatches, and paint. The other 3800 in hull prep, parts, and rigging. Hope that helps.

That is sweet and the really great thing is that you are in a part of the world where you can fish that inside and go outside for the big ones. Beautiful job.

Thanks tas, I priced a 115 Merc. four stroke just the other day and they quoted me 15 K up here in Canada, I like the command thrust idea but I thought that was rather high. Also got a quote for a new transom and that came in at 5K. Might get the transom done over the winter and have a good mechanic go over my 98 Yamaha 115 and see if its worth getting a shaft extension to buy me some more time.

You must be getting hosed on the taxes up there. As the old Taco Bell ads use to say, make a run for the border!!!! One of the big dealers has that new 115 Command Thrust engine listed for $8500. That's like $2800 USD less that what they quoted you.
