keep in mind there are a bunch of extras included in that $11k estimate including removal of the existing engine and outdrive, repair all screw holes in hull and a couple other small fibreglass repairs. and new powder coated pod with kicker bracket installed with all hatches and hardware. Plus removal of existing kicker and bracket... I thinks it's fair estimate. I know many of you could do this much cheeper but this what it costs to have a reputable shop do all the work.The pod and glass work shouldn’t cost 11k. You can get a very nice aluminum painted pod built for around 3k. Unless you are getting a crazy amount of extra glasswork done I think you could do it significantly cheaper. Just the pod and filling the hole could be done for half that.
