Weekend update. The new transom is in, the plywood got glue'd in Saturday morning, along with fillets all around. Sunday I sanded the fillets (With my handy little belt sander) and laid down 2 layers of 12oz biax tape all around the perimeter followed by 2 layers of fabric over the whole transom. I'm pretty happy with it, there are a few minor little dry spots, almost all of which are at the floor where the chine flats are, luckily all of these locations are going to get sanded and multiple additional layers of glass over them when I reconstruct the stringers.
I also used silica to thicken the epoxy for the fillets, and i feel like it worked WAY better than wood flour which is all i've used in the past.

Looks really good and well done.
