Welcome to iboats! You will need to remove any rotted wood and replace it then reglass it in....If there is rot in the transom and the floor is soft you can bet there are more issues under your deck.......rotton stringers... There are many resto threads to start reading to see what you may be getting into and how to deal with all the problems you may find....

I would think some core samples in the transom and some exploatory holes in the deck would be your first step....

Also let us know what kind of boat your working with
