Default Repairing transom after trim tab removal

I recently removed the Bennitt trim tabs from my Formula 292, and plan to install Mercury 280s K-Plates. I now have (4) 3/4" holes thru the transom and (24) small screw holes roughly 1" deep. What would I expect to pay a fiberglass shop to completely fill the holes and refinish the transom to like new condition. OR, is this a fairly simple task that I could handle myself?? Any help would be appreciated...thanks.........dave

roughly around one thousand barring any other issues off the top of my head. This is for a completely de rigged transom though. Its very difficult and time consuming to work around the rigging and could easily double the cost.

i would laminate the 4 holes inside and out and the 24 screw holes i would grind then fill with polyester resin mixed with milled fibers and cabisol then prep all areas for gel and spray and sand and rub . I assume the spay areas are about 2ft by 2ft so i say around $1000 is a close estimate
