Laying in the 1708 usually includes grinding the inside transom skin and about a foot of the inside hullsides and inside bottom. You can fill in the voids with layers of 3/4oz CSM (chopped fibers) and then cover with the layers of 1708. Lamming the 1708 to include the hullsides and the bottom creates a complete tie-in and makes the transom really strong. Then you start adding the coring, using fillets of thickened resin at all the corners, to include where the transom meets the hull bottom. You seem to have cut the stringers back enough to allow for this.
If you need more info let me know. There are a lot of examples of doing this.
