Default Transom problems

Hello. Today while replacing the batteries on my 20CC I found that the transom on the left side (looking from the back of the boat is rotting. The part by the aluminum strip going across the cutout for the motor is cracked from the outside down into underneath the left hand seat in the back.

I know the eventual fix is to replace the transom (which I dread the expense of). I have some bondo or could use some type of sealant like caulking and then install a couple of "braces". These would go from the transom to the inside wall where the seats rest. I hope I'm not too confusing in my description.

Question: Is this a viable temporary solution? Is Bondo better than the caulking? What else could I use that would seal? Help!! I don't want to have to put a lot of work and money into this old classic. Suggestions PLEASE!!

Henry
