I like it! The use of nidacore in the build will greatly reduce the weight and only requires thru bolting on high stress items bolting to it. I also dig your ample bilge access. That is something you won't regret.
Is there a reason you didn't tie the floor all the way back to the transom? I see you have installed knees but tying the deck to the transom provides unilateral support across the whole transom and would have given you added storage in your raised transom box by giving it a bottom. Also, why you are opting to relocate the batteries up front?
Sorry for all the questions. I really like your build and look forward to seeing how it comes out. Please keep us posted. If you finish before May you can do a crossing and spend a few days with us on our next gathering.
