Ugh. That's not pretty. I replaced my entire underfloor because of soft decking, and while I did it I also replaced all the foam. Where the splashwell comes thru the transom there is a gap about an inch wide on each side that I filled with putty and then glassed to the transom and stringers, making the splashwell a lot (in my estimation) stronger. But I never had any problem with the transom or the splashwell bubble so I'm really at a loss to say what to do, other than it obviously needs repair. If it were me I would cut across the top, separate the inside and outside halves, remove the rotted wood and pour a new splashwell.
Remember, if you remove the splashwell I don't think you can really call your boat a V21 anymore since it's the bubble sticking out the back of the transom that gives it the extra foot to make it a V21. Of course, if you add a bracket then you could probably call it a V? whatever the length of the bracket is. Seriously, since you're dealing with lots of curves trying to make a new splashwell out of wood might be more than you want to tackle. I'd definitely give thought to pouring. In all cases that's something that needs serious fixing.
