Agreed, definetly do the large stainless washers at least on the inside. Any stock you can up and drill yourself(stainless or aluminum) would be best with the washers. Also fill the gap with your preference and bolt the sides also.
the forces on that transom especially under way with that 500lb engine bouncing in the water is tremendous and I think you may be underestimating it.
