For sure.
Tranny repairs suck.
Yes but this is a good place to get work done. Some of the biggest
builders of custom sportfish are just a few miles south of here - lots
of good people and lots of resources.
It's also an interesting area to poke around in. Kitty Hawk and the
Wright Brothers Museum are a few miles north, Cape Hatteras and
Ocracoke about 60 miles south. There are miles and miles of deserted
beaches, big dunes, interesting wildlife, etc.
It took two guys a day and a half just to get the tranny out. It's
built like a battleship but probably needs a few dollars worth of
hydraulic seals which will take about 8 man days of labor to replace.
Eessshhhh...
