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. strick

Search for 316 ss unistrut washers. We use them all the time in industrial electrical mounting hangers. They are common with 3/8" and 1/2" holes and measure 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" normally. For backing brackets and outboard bolts I just normally use 4"x 1/4" aluminum flat bar cut down to size.
