I've had excellent results with "Sea Cast" check their web sight. Removing wood coring using their method is very labor intensive. On models that have a thicker transom in the engine mounting area (also where the wood is located), I've removed a section of the outer glass staying about 2 inches in from the edge of this area, then removed the wood, cleaned the surfaces, securely glassed the removed panel back in place, opened the top surface of the transom, fabricated a funnel, pouedr in the "Sea Cast" brining the level slightly above the top edge of the transom, once the "Sea Cast" is cured, shape the top of the transom for the proper contour (it's easy to work with) and height, and glass over the repaired area. This is also a good opportunity to remove any wet foam in the transom area and replace it with Sea Cast, order a little extra Sea Cast to make sure you have enough, they say you can add later, but I think it's best when used as one pour. The results are incredibly strong, and this stuff floats.
