Filling Large transom hole - options

I had 153 holes in my transom when I re did my boat and none of them are visible and none look like crap. Your gel coat or paint job (maybe the entire transom) will fix that.

Ya 153 holes at least I didn’t have to think much about needing to do a transom job kind a like a no brainer.
Let’s see 8 large holes for twins, 16 large holes for a aluminum transom support type for the transom, 21 holes for 3 transducers most plugged up with 5200, 20 holes for trim tabs, 7 large holes for drainage holes through the transom, 12 small holes for screws on those drain holes, 12 holes for a transom ladder, 4 large holes for the eye cleats on the transom, 5 smaller holes for a 90 degree step on the transom, there were about 8 larger holes that were plugged up with wood and some epoxy, and the rest I am not sure why Oh Yeah I did drill a few myself just to confirm that the water that came out was not good enough to drink. I used most of the holes any way on the glue and screw method of tying the plywood to the transom. I did use 2 layers of glass on the inside first in the rebuilding process of the transom and then filled in all the holes faired it out and painted.
