Fellow-ship,
After looking at the photos of your 23', I noticed it had some type of stainless or aluminum cap on the transom. In a previous post of mine, I inquired about adding 5 inches back to the notch in my transom and Animal Chris mentioned a method of using a piece of oak and then capping it with aluminum to tie everything in. Is that the purpose the stainless served on your boat before you re-did it? Did you put the metal piece back on when done?
