I would attempt to restore it first to keep the boat as original as possible but that's me. Sanding it down lightly, gouging out any rotten wood then treating it with wood hardener followed up by a brown or cream colored exterior wood filler will repair it back to strong usable shape. I restored the inner transom wood on my 1950 year model Alumacraft this way and after 3 topcoats of Marine Spar Varnish it turned out really beautiful........even re-attached the original data plates. Give it a try...........you may really like the results.........by the way.......really precious kids you got there...........miss my little helpers..........they are all grown up now and gone on their way in life. Enjoy every moment of yours while you have them..........they are a beautiful gift of God to us my friend.</p></blockquote><p></p>
