Composites One usually sells vinyl ester but they have it in 55 gal drums if you want 5 gal pails they will do that but you have to wait till they pour it for you...if you are doing a big project (which you are) consider opening an account with Composites One for all your resin needs...other stuff get from wherever you can find it. I never used anything but 1708 and heavy matt (for the first 2 layers) on the brackets I did just be sure to alternate the 1708 so the fibers are not going in the same direction all the time...
another thing to consider that I don't see mentioned ever is the type of washer used to bold the bracket to the transom...Square washers (plate washers) are far stronger then round washers so I usually had some ss 1/4" thick 2x2" washers made up (welding shop) for the bracket...you probably can find these already pre made if you search.
