We went through the same problem on my son's O'Day27 a few years ago.
Instead of removing the entire bulhead which is the proper fix, we choose to scarf in new wood by bolting wood "plates" to the existing bulhead where it is sound - not the most pleasing look but it worked. If you try something similar, make sure you use proper backing plates and sufficiently large bolts/washers to spread the load created by the chainplates. In retrospect, by the time we finished, it would have been less work to simply replace the whole thing.
