This may or may not be relevant because it's about 20 years ago on about an '81 Crestliner. When replaced a transom, I called Cestliner for a replacement, was told they did not have one, but to just use CDX plywood, because that is what they used. When removing the old one, it appeared he was correct as it was mostly like a paper mache, mush.
I ended up using a piece from a beam used for the overhead on wide garage doors.
This looked tough as H...: was probably 20 or more plies. It was wood and from the local bldg supply..
Since most technology is much better by now, I would at least ask Crestliner what they use in today's world to decide on what to use they may have one available.
Pretty simple job if you have the tools - and the engine hoist. I temporarily used 2 x 4's
Attached strong ratchet hoist from beefed up garage rafter. Then stabilized from rafter to floor with 2 x 4 s . You have to use your own judgment here pending engine size/wgt. Mine then was only a 50 HP.
Good Luck
