It's kinda like an open air bar - folks drift in and out - sometimes they lob comments and sometimes they just watch to see who is gonna say something.
You will get more comments by posting photos in the part of the thread you are talking about instead of separate albums since it is easier for some (like me) to connect the words with the pics.
What resin are you planning on? If its VE 1708 is perfect but if it is epoxy the CSM is not adding much but 'protection' and costing in weight and resin. I didn't really figure that out til I used a lot of epoxy on 1808 and 1708 on my transom.
You might want to run some numbers and figure out how much all that weighs relative to what you tore out.
As far as drains go it really depends on how light you build it and what you hang on it. The original design worked pretty well if it didn't have a lot of extra weight. I am using that on my 23 but going to 1-1/4" tubes.
Vezo is right - build your transom 1-2" taller than your motor and 26 is a good minimum. Knees are useful if there are high loads for some reason - not sure if you have that situation.
Since I don't have a MA I'll just hang out for another happy hour and wait for a few more boat porn pics.
