...and hear I've been budgeting 1 case for the repair crew for every beer that is guilty of "contributory negligence"!!!! What's your secret, man?

Hey SeaCrafters! I'm in the midst of replacing the transom of my '74 20ftcc. I've cut out the rot and preped the remaining glass to accept the 2 pieces of 3/4" marine ply I'll be laminating with West System 205&105. My Questions: 1. Do I fill all gaps between hull interior and ply with epoxy with or with out filler & fibers? 2. Should I stretch the fiber sheet over and around the outside of the hull? 3. if so, how far over the exterior? 4. How much should I flare out the seam between hull and transom, will that effect how the boat planes? Any thoughts?
