Answer 1

if you have $ to burn go to a Mill shop, or order it online at a marine grade wood shop,

That is an undertaking. Transom is one of the Bulkheads of the boat, on that boat is THE bulkhead. Marine Grade Ply is going to cost, and cost, so measure twice, measure again cut once, measure again. Make a template of the existing one with Panelling or some thin ply, even Thermoply works for that. Thermo-ply is like cardboard, wich can also be used to make a template. I suggest that you make two templates and store one in a very dry place, preferably inside. Go to the local Lumber yard, the old one, not the Franchised one. Ask them what they have and can you purchase it buy certain measurements, that way they cut it for you and then you assemble and apply it. Unless that vessel has some sentimental value, it really is not worth the 50hours and the $3k that it will most likely cost to replace the Transom. Yes, I have done that before, on a 64 Chris Craft, all wood, it worked nice. Seems like you could find one being given away or parted out on line or at some boat place and that would make it alot less investment and trouble. Think about it, you are replacing the Motor Mount and the section where all the stress is compounded, one fail and is a sink. I just looked on Craigslist and found a 1980s Glastron for $890, that is probably less than the materials and time and tools to replace that one. CapitolOne sells Marine Grade, I have never dealt with them or used them, seems like Georgia Lumber also sells that, I have used them in the past. Get that 1980s one for $850, use yours as a parts boat and enjoy the summer.
