			Hey i just cut out the soft area in my transom with a chainsaw. But use an electric chainsaw and use it with NO bar lube or oil. They make a pentrating resin for that and then you pour it in with 1/2 holes drilled in the bottom. it will run out just pour it back in till it stops running out. The use a flexable epoxy in the voids. It is stong and won't crack but will still get hard as a rock. I've used it before it's great. I've seen it used in other boats as well and it is super strong. I bought mine from Parker Boat Company for right at $20 a gallon with hardner. That is what Parker makes there whole transom out of. I have a neighbor that works for them so i get it through him. It is a Poly Resin and is about the same thickness as Diesel fuel. Works great thought and you don't have to remove all the wood, just take out whats rotten or soft.
