I came in from the inside like you when I did my boat and I also used marine grade ¾ plywood as you are.
I measured the thickness of my old outside skin and it was not as thick as I liked it so I added two layers of glass to that wall building out to about 5/16 of a inch maybe 3/8 of a inch. Then I used the glue and screw method with thickened epoxy to lay the first layer of plywood I beveled the edges of the plywood to get to fit correctly and after it started to harden I used a putty knife with pennant butter thickened epoxy squeezing it into the gap all around the edges of the first wall of plywood. Then I did the same thing with the second ¾ sheet of plywood using thickened epoxy glue and screw method.
What you do First it to brush on regular epoxy on both sides of the job either fiberglass wall and one side of the plywood or if you are on the second sheet of plywood brush on regular epoxy on the two sides that tough each other then mix up mayonnaise thickened epoxy and use one of those trawls that look like a comb with ridges and apply your thickened resin after that use clamps and screws to hold together. Let it dry and then go on with the second layer of plywood and the pennant butter around the edges. Then add at least ¼ to 3/8 layers of glass on the outside tying it to the hull at least 6” overlap I added several extra approx 8x12 lap over’s all around the plywood to the walls of the hull. Then add at least 1 to 3 knees to add additional support. And then it’s Budweiser time.
