Welcome to iboats.

The fiberglass is just cosmetic........ I imagine the transom is rotted and soft. It appears as if you will need to do some transom surgery.

RULE 1 NEVER cut the outer portion of the transom away from the boat

You will probably need to un-cap the hull and work from the inside out.

The bad news is that Bob's 100% right.

The good news is, there's plenty of advice and help on this site and by the time you are done, it will be VERY personal to you.

Good luck and have fun.
