We just finished laminating two pieces of plywood together-one 3/16 and one 3/8.  This is for the transom.  We are also attaching side stiffeners to most of the frames.  When we laminated the stiffeners to the frame we discovered that there were some accuracy issues.  Cutting some of the chine notches before we put them together was not the best way.  Next time we will cut the notches after doing the frame laminations.  We keep learning!  We needed to improvise a bit when laminating the transom pieces to weight them down till they set up.  Buckets full of sand did the trick!  We had to start a fire in the wood stove to keep the shop warm enough for the resin to cure.  The resin went off a little fast because of the temperature (73 degrees F)
