While I'm a bit past the personal fiberglass-work-on-boat stage. Horatio, (my fiberglass guy and an ex Hinckley repair guy ... also at TP in the 80s when these boats were built) prefers to use G10 and Corecell as he did on this transom for 526. I think all that you are looking for is to spread the area for the attachment points with a solid base. for example the squares of G10 for the gudgeons. If there is a working between the elements ... I would vote that would not enter seriously enough to matter.
