Man, I hate to hear that about your stringers, I had to replace some of mine also. I used juniper and cypress boards that I had stored away. After talking to some boat builders at Carolina Classic I kinda wished I'd used Douglas Fir. It seems to be a good choice for wood core projects. I used 3/4 marine plywood for my new transom and transom cap. I encased it all in polyester resin and glass and its holding up very well! Good luck with yours!!
