I like to do things the hard way....but that's just me. While fishing I have found that I can concentrate better on catching fish if there are no distractions running through my mind such as....... "is my transom strong enough" or "is that joint that I glassed going to hold my motor on the boat"

I'm sure through proper joinery you can add to the top of your transom to raise it but if it is the original transom or an otherwise unhealthy one I would replace the whole thing and then you will not have that worried feeling while out fishing.
