It's possible but my time estimate may be high. Better to be
surprised on the low side than the other way around. I had a tranny
done on my old Bertram 33 and it ran about $3500. That was a much
easier job from a labor standpoint but the parts were very pricey. The
manufacturer is suggesting that this one just needs new hydraulic
seals. The expensive thing is getting it in and out.
