You should give her a good soaking on both sides with resin and pay CLOSE attention to the edges. While the second coat is still wet, I would lay on a layer of 1.5 oz mat of fiberglass mat and wrap it around the edges and then another coat of resin to cover it all up. Do this on both sides. When this is all dry, then you're ready for installation. Have you decided on clamping method? If not, you might want to check out the method I suggested for this guy.

This is after the fact because you have already glued up your transom but have a look at this vacuum sealing process for the DIY's. I just completed it and it really does the job. There are pictures of my clamping process also. Look about a 3rd the way down the page.
