I would replace that rotted wood with marine grade plywood and laminate the layers of plywood with epoxy resin. Highly recommend "West Systems" epoxy from West Marine.
Cut the pieces to size. Laminate the pieces together then drill your holes. Then coat the entire piece with epoxy, let set for 1/2-hour, then coat it again (it's called wet-on-wet). Let it set for at least 72 hours before setting it in place and bolting it together. Fill any voids with expanding foam and let expand for 24-hours. Trim and you're ready to put it all back together.
That reminds me of when the fiberglass deck of my yacht leaked and the wood core rotted. I had to tear up the entire 45' length of deck and do the above. Not fun on a big boat.
