I have repaired a couple of transoms when I used to work at a boat shop. We usually cut the glass from the inside rather than the outside. That way the exterior gelcoat stayed intact. As noted, one should stay away from pressure treated wood, but would want to spend the extra money for marine grade plywood and then seal the exterior surface and edges with fiberglass resin. It can be a pain in the ass, especially when the stringers in the floor get dry rot in them too.
