Any suggestions on transom color? Interior is all yellow, bilge has purple anodizing and powder coat on the diamond plate.

I considered a dark color when thinking of painting. White is nice, just keep it heavily waxed so it cleans up easier and try to avoid the hard chemicals. Anxious to hear how it runs with 3's.

That's some mighty precise measuring you're doing there. Why not round it up another .0015"?

Looking good! Keep the pics coming.

If I had to guess under $500 for one big hole and he does very good work. It's not worth me getting itchy for what he charges me. I get a very good deal because I bring him several thousands of dollars worth of work every year. But his prices are still lower than most for everyone.
