Natecert,
I believe the two box-style stringers in the transom bilge area are the original engine beds from when the boat was an inboard/outboard. When I had my transom redone recently on my 1978 23' Sceptre I/O, we found the wood that was laminated into these for the engine mounts to lag into were totally soaked and rotten. My advice would be to drill a sample out of them and see what lurks inside.
I am following this thread closely; I am fascinated by the process and wish I had the time and skills to do a project like this on my own. Good luck!
