Default Mobile fiberglass repair/work?

Upon talking with others I'm fairly confident I can do a decent job fiberglassing but for something as important as my transom, I think it may be best left to a pro. I have the back 6ft of the deck cut off and have no trailer. Is it unheard of having someone work at my location and if so where would I begin to look. Any suggestions/advise is greatly appreciated.

Fiberglass Frank was recommended to me by someone I trust but was rumored he was out of the game. I was told he originally worked on the Shadows. Have any contact info?

most certainly not out of the ordinary to find a guy that travels. I have a couple of fifty plus footers i routinely travel to for upkeep. Just went out a couple weeks ago to do a core layup on a boat that could not be moved. I dont do it near as much as i used to due to shop workload but it is kinda nice to get out once an a while. When i was younger i bought a Toyota 4x4 and set it up with gas compressor, etc and did pretty well hitting the marinas/yards in the spring. Keep in mind though on large multi day/week jobs you may pay a premium for not being able to move the boat to a shop location, it can get very expensive to travel.
