I replaced the transom in my fisher this winter. It wasn't hard or expensive, just time consuming. Iboats has a lot of good information should you choose to do it yourself. You may not find any info on your exact boat, but looking at similar boats will give you a good idea on what to expect. If you do it, just make sure you don't use pressure treated plywood. Marine grade plywood is best, but ABX/ACX plywood would work as well, make sure to use waterproof wood glue. Seal the entire transom with epoxy after drilling any holes and before re-installing then use 3M 4200 on all fasteners. This would take you a few weekends (need time for glue, epoxy, sealant to cure, etc.) but the end result should be far superior to the original and last as long as the rest of the boat.
