Transom repair

[Wise77]

Stupid me for thinking anyone in the world is actually honest, just bought a 93 baha 29ft and found out the transom has severe rot. I am inexperienced with that sort of thing. I asked the guy if it/transom was good he of course said yep its fine. We'll its not fine so now he is ghosting me rather than being a decent human and at least give me part of my money back to help pay for the repair. Does anyone know of a boat repair guy that won't charge a fortune to rebuild a transom? Pretty much screwed right now.

BW Customs in Sodus. He does excellent work therefore he is always busy. You will probably have to wait a while. I had a swim platform rebuilt and had to wait 6 months just to get it in.

Also looking to have a transom replaced in the next year or two, any other places out there besides BW Customs?

There is a 27 foot Pen Yan at my marina with a bad transom. The owner of the marina used to do stringers and transoms in the winter. I asked him what it would cost in today’s world to repair it and his answer shocked me. I hope your repair goes smoothly and isn’t crazy money.

Samsons in Red Creek did my stringers and transom. Did a nice job.

I called them today, waiting for a reply. Are they expensive?

Thank you, I will call them.

Will be expensive no matter what. If you decide to do it have the stringers checked while they are in there.

I don't mean to browbeat you, but for future reference, on a purchase like that, always have a survey done. It's well worth the money for the peace of mind and to prevent something like this from happening to you.

Yes sir, last time this will ever happen to me. What an absolute scumbag to screw someone over this bad. I would have at least given the money back for the repair. What a lying piece of ****! Would love to post a big thing about him but it would get removed. The guy runs a charter out of Ontario NY. Would love to help him lose business!
