Brian, correct me if I’m wrong but I think I read somewhere that if you put shelves and other structure in that area it is less critical the position of them.

I'll stand by my statement above ... :)

You may also be remembering a statement that I made about the splash rails on the outside of the boat.  They are necessary for stiffening the side panels aft of the pilot house ... typical pilot house and cuddy structure provide stiffening from that point forward.  Now .... if you don't want splash rails on the outside of the boat (you won't get much spray regardless), then shelves along the inside face of those side panels are both useful and also provide the desired side panel stiffening.  Does that sound familiar?

Looks good.  I do recommend fairing between glassing steps and it does reduce labor later.  I use a carbide scraper to taper the edges of glass, then a wide knife/blade (whatever they're called) ... 14" or so ... to fill/fair the glass-to-hull boundaries.  Then sand and glass, repeat.  Final coats, done.

Been working on rails. Decided to cover them all with 4 inch glass. Didn’t like the idea of unglased wood below the water line

First ahh poop. Wanted a flat spot to mount the engine so I carver out a piece of plywood and mounted it to the transom. Hated how it looked so took it off before epoxy cured. Decided I will deal with the curve when I mount the jack plate. No biggie.😜

Most people with curved transoms just make a wedge-shaped piece for left/right sides of the bracket to give the bracket a flat surface to bolt against.  Good idea to use the same inside so the bolts/washers are tightened against a flat surface as well.
