Transom Replacement

[Flukemeister1]

I am going to replace the transom on my 22 foot Stratos Cuddy. The hull is 1995 and I am going to hang a new 250 E-tec on the back. Just prior to my former engine puking a cylinder I replaced the electronics and while installing the transducers found the transom was FULL of water. My questions are: synthetic vs wood. I am 52 and I am sure the wood repair done correctly will out live me. And secondly where do you recommend finding Glass, resins etc to do the repair. I have a good supplier of MG plywood locally here in PA.

Thanks!
