Your transom needs to be in the neighborhood of 1 5/8 to 2 1/8 inches.
You would probably get more help if you started a thread in boatbuilding under fiberglass and composite boatbuilding.

Check out the Caribiana sea skiff. Built for open ocean, very smooth.
I went for a test ride the day after a huricane came through. No slamming 20kts easy.
