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.
