Pointer #1 - however long you think its going to take, double it.
Pointer #2 - however much you think you'll spend, double it.
I havent done a transom on a Sea Ray but have learned these two lessons from other boats I have done.

I think it was LIME 4X4 that did his transome and stringers.Check out the web site for Invisions boat works in saginaw michigan too.

Did my first 84 Bayliner 2750. Not too bad. Nice Piece of Mind when you get done.
Buy Tyvek suit. $10.00 Lowes. Good ventilator, goggles. Lots of air circulation, fans, etc. Air Chisel, Palm sander, Dremel.
Some people like using Seacast to rebuild. Different type of rebuild. Read their site first!
If I would have know about, maybe I would have. (is kind of expensive though)

Conventional method:
Cut in the inner fiberglass out, side to side, top to bottom, to gain access to the rotten wood. Clean out all wood down to the outter fiberglass skin.
Use 3/4" "marine grade" plywood. Maybe two layers, depending on your boat. If two layers, rotate grain 45 degrees of each other.
Gallon of Resin, (I like West Systems Epoxy), cloth, gel coat. Good as new!
I obviously skimmed over a few minor details, but thats the gest of it.
Have fun. Ask for any addition details, if you need em.
