Why do you think that the transom has been notched. Mine drops down like your in two stages and lowest is where the motor mounts. Mine is a 1983 which I think yours is a different year. With everything gutted from the boat I would remove the inner skin and fix the transom from the inside. It's not hard to do and you have done about 90% of the work allready. You just now have to remove all the screws from around the rub rail and the ones under it and she will come right apart. This will expose all the stringers and you can make any needed repairs to them. That is how we did mine and there is a thread with pics of someone repairing their boat the same way.
