Nice work! I like the attention to detail, like the routed fillets and the nice knees, and the coosa transom core.
Chopped strand mat isn't the best stuff around, but it is nice in that it is uniformly strong (or weak, depending on your point of view) in the plane in which it lies. Unlike uni, biax or woven roving. But multiple layers of biax or really any long fiber reinforcement with enough appropriately staggered angles can be stronger per pound, and nearly uniform in terms of strength and stiffness in plane. The result is so called planar "quasi isotropic".
