Sounds like you have a well thought out plan in place. Just a slight piece of advice. Look carefully at the inside of the transom where the set back "bubble" it comes through the transom. See that 1" gap on either side? My advice is to fill it and then glass over it to either side of the stringers back there for much needed and added strength. The general consensus of thought is that the reason these hulls are only rated for 200 HP outboards is that the original construction of the way the bubble is attached through the transom made it unwise to rate the hull for a higher HP engine. Just my 2 cents, but that's what I did with my 96 V21 when I had the deck off it.
