good chance you could use Fasco Fas stick #110 to relaminate the panels together.

what are both materials made of?

its the fiberglass hull then it has a skirt around it (same matertial as the hull)

First thing you need to do is contact the manufacturer and find out how to fix it. Meaning how do you delaminate glued parts. The transom is not bad enough to start cutting it out. Get some rot repair liquid and saturate it. Worst part is the Starboard side forward. that may be a real problem. Unless you flip it and take pic's I can't tell how the wood fastens to the cell. Could be a moulded channel or a reinforced flap. Either way Raul's right you got allot of work to do.

you going to have to take out the transom wood put a new one reinforce with the cloth and fiberglass resine.make you use treated wood.

sorry you live too far ,just take pics ,and ask
