See Hammer's transom rebuild in the off topic section I believe.

I personally wouldn't do the chainsaw thing... I don't think you'll ever be able to get all the wood out therefore I don't think you'll get a good bond. If you don't want to cut the floor up you can do the job from the outside whereas Hammer is doing his from the inside.

P.S. I have never done a boat transom so take this with a grain of salt!
