Now that's what I call dedication. It's great to see what your doing with an old classic. You are lucky to have the time, place, and knowledge to do this. Keep up the good work and good luck with your project!

well it is going pretty fast as you say,
but i have been working on it for about a week and 1/2. the pics have been taken, just had to become a supporting member to post pics. 
. it is getting chilly down here in lousiana. i have both heaters going in my shop. the resin just dont get hard fast enough in this cold weater, so then all i can do is just pet the puss for a while. 
i will have some more pics soon.... thanks for tha support.

GOTA GET CREATIVE HERE
ASUMED IT WAS STRAIT AND I WAS WRONG.
i have some puty i use to make my radius, i am gona haft to do a little body work on my back side. i used a string and strait edge to put in transom. it should of had a bow in it
. it starts at nothing and ends up with a 3/8 gap that cant be pulled with rivets or screws.

If your going to repaint, you could cut a wedge out of the top, pull it in tight, and glass it back. Not a big deal at all IF your planning on a repaint.
My 79 21' enchanter OB was the same way. There was clear silicone in the gap that the rub rail covered mostly. As far as I know, the transom was never touched.
