A little concerned with balance, adding all of that weight forward, closing the transom, and popping an outboard on the back. If you use a flotation bracket that may add too much stern bouyancing and too much weight forward, maybe? That bracket pictured will help offset some of the weight (I think) provided there is not too much flotation. You may need to to do some water testing when the hull is done to see where the optimal location for batteries and such will be so if you need to locate them aft & low versus centrally, yada yada...

Anyway, just trying to picture boyancy, center of gravity, height, sail effect, etc...

Great work as usual!
