Rot Repair Recommendation?

[Day Late]

In the course of replacing the floor in my 17' I/O
(fiberglass) I discovered that the wood crossmember that supports the front motor mount of the 4 cylinder engine has some rot and should be replaced. This is beyond my capability and would appreciate any recommendations as to who can do this work at a reasonable cost. I live in Corvallis, but can trailer it to Portland or any other reasonable distance. Thank you. :smile:

i recently bought a 17' 1991 bluewater that had the same problem. Took about 50 hours and $1000 ($600 wood, glass, glue, resin & $400 bellows, bearings,etc). I replaces all stringers, floor, mounts, etc. with treated marine plywood from the manufacturer (in Salem area). Beaver marine is Gresham was doing the same to a slightly larger boat while i visited for outdrive seals, gaskets, etc. They did a nice job on the one they had (I did better!!) Gibe them a call - if you are going to keep the boat i recommend replacing all the rot at once -- good luck
