Maybe you could rip it into 10 or 12 inch boards and cut them about 24 inches. or if you could cut the length so the joints are near the ends 12 inches or so then a 6 ft piece would be down to 4 ft with an expansion joint
at each end.Then fasten it just snug with an oversize hole and a washer.
If it was me I'd be using PT ply no sealing required and it will out last you and the boat.Just check present type for compatibility with aluminum.
May need a coat of paint or something where it contacts metal.My transom is about 25 years never sealed or painted.First 20 years almost 9 months a year in the water in the north east.Allways stored outside,Factory transom lasted 5 years.
