When I made the transom mating surfaces, I used corrugated cardboard as a 'padding' to mimic the thickness of fiberglass.

Of course, if the fiberglass is thicker than the cardboard I used, it would explain the fit problem.

The fiberglass was 2 layers, so about 0.09" each side . . . Probably more than I had allowed for.

The angle is 120˚ and the gap is 5/8" as mentioned. I can probably figure out the needed dimension reduction in order to fit.
