I would be worried about the structural value of composite material.
That wood is a structural member of your boat and should be replaced
with the same or better material.

Post this in rec.boats, and be prepared for more ideas than you probably
wanted.

2 layers of 5/8" pressure treated plywood.

use marine grade plywood.
regular plywoods will not use the proper glue.
