When I did stringers (just the portion in the engine compartment) in my old 26' Carver, I just cut off the tops of the glass and scooped out the black mud that had once been wood.... I cleaned it out as far forward as I could reach and then formed my new stringers (cut from 4x6 treated lumber)... I mixed up an epoxy peanut butter with saw dust (better materials are available) and put down a 3/4" thick layer... I pushed in the stringers and pressed em down... after the PB has set up I ground everything smooth and re glassed the top....
I'd say that those were tougher tho not as long... and I'd rather do that again than do a transom any day.
