For anyone interested in how they built these transoms...

Yo can see the flat center where the motor goes is separated by glass from the angled sides. The sides are multiple pieces. You can see 4 vertical pieces (3/4" ply)on each side. They cover 2 horizontal 3/4" layers on each side.

It appears that they built the hull with a full transom and then cut the notch for the motor. Its a shame they didn't glass over the cuts. You just gotta wonder what bean counter decided that was a good idea.
