Boat looks great behind it too and you bought more truck than you really needed which is a good thing. I did too as my boat only weighed 5000lbs on the trailer full of fuel. Triple-axle steel trailer weighed almost 1500lbs.

It was wet almost all the way across. I have most of it torn out. You can see what I've done in these pictures:

Re: anybody out there??
I guess that would depend on wether a person could do the work himselft...
The transom would probably cost 2500 to have done, but could be done yourself cheaper.
Two sheets of marine grade plywood = $200
5-7 gallons of vinylester = $200-$250
cloth and mat = $200
($650-$750 for the transom)
There is still one wiring harness in the boat and the wires for the trim and tabs are still there. They would just need to be re-terminated.
I still have the steering cable for it as well. You could get another tilt helm (<$120) and steering wheel.
You can get a set of guages from SSCompetition for $114.
I just sold a 454mag for $2700, you can get a transom assembly for $1300 and a used bravo for $1500. Exhaust $1000. (I've seen complete used propulsion packages for $6000)
That puts it at about $7500 in parts so far. I'm sure that you would need another $1000 for other misc stuff that I can't think of.
This would be a good project for someone with the parts laying around that didn't mind doing some glass work.
