Lastly , do you feel that the live well provided any structural integrity to the floors stability. The stringers are just next to it so I feel that it's not bearing any of the load. Tks

I noticed no discernible difference in structural integrity in the deck.
Like you say, its all pretty well tied together there with the stringers/transom/cap etc.

With the new bilge access I did glass a stout knee to the lower part of the inside of the transom. Just to help disperse the motor load and tie the transom into the hull a bit. Don't know if it has any actual benefit, but it looks good and makes me feel better when it gets real choppy!
