23' Transom Advice Request

I guess that's what forums are for, opinions!! :-)
My opinion differs from the rest, but mostly for one reason. It depends on what your are doing with the hull, if you are painting or gelcoating it, I think it is easier to do from the outside. JMHO. None of this matters much because you aren't doing the work, I think it is easier to work standing up on the outside of a boat. :-) It may be cheaper that way. Comes down to what the guy who is doing the work is comfortable with.
As for the rest of the stuff, materials, etc, looks good.
I'm an outboard guy myself, plus I like to spend O.P.M, so that is what I would do.
Good luck and keep us posted!
