Carolina Skiff Platform Install

Hey guys haven’t been on here for a while but trying to gather any info that might be helpful in my poling platform install this weekend. I have a j16 and am installing a platform on it. It is completely transom mount which sketches me out a little due to me being 180 lbs but as I understand it this is how Carolina skiff sells them. My main question is should I fill the transom holes with an epoxy and filler and then redrill? Not exactly sure what the core of a j16 transom is if that answers someone’s question. Also any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
