Keep the outside skin if at all possible. I am int he middle of a rebuild of a 22 Aquasport and had to take both skins out and build a mold. There are pictures here:

Cut the inside and use a flexible core material. cutting the outside will leave you with lots of extra work finishing. Nida core has worked well for my transom.
