I did this one on my 18, used 3/4" treated to build the backing, then cut foam and used white vinyl. Not much to it, just use stainless staples.

Nice.

Have you thought about dealing with the additional weight of the outboard and bracket further off the transom? My 18' had a problem with letting water in the scuppers and drains at rest with a notched transom.
