Transom glassed in with chopped strand mat and woven roving lapped onto the hull about 6". The inside of the hull was coated with thickened epoxy, chop, then the wood, then the roving. I used two layers of 3/4 select grade sanded douglass fir plyood coated twice with epoxy. That matched the flange at the back of the splashwell (motor mount area). The transom I took out was three layers of 3/4 plywood and I think is why they decided to butcher the back of the deck and put the boat together wrong.
Incidentally, any reports I read said that you couldn't use chopped strand mat with epoxy because it has a binding agent in it that dissolves in the catalyst for polyester resin but not in epoxy. I did a test before I laid up my transom and had no problems wetting out the chop. I think it depends on what kind of chop you buy. I bought my chop, cloth and roving from a marina from their supply of materials they use to do fibreglass repair. They had a good selection of the weights I needed and the price was similar to ordering online except I could walk away with it in hand.
