Out drive boot replacement

[Sleepyweas3l]

Any one have a guess on what is might cost to have the boot around my 1976 OMC outdrive replaced? It is cracked and leaking water into the transom.

Just trying to decide if I want to fix this or try to sell it and find a smaller boat.

If you are the handy type of a guy, you can do the job yourself or with the help of a friend. Just have to be CAREFUL with the shifter cable when you split the out drive from the transom.

Looks like around a 200 dollar job. Here is a link to parts and prices:
