I plywood is one of the strongest sheeting elements you could ask for since the grain alternates directions each layer. I honestly think one layer if 3/4" would have sufficed if you were willing to have it flex.
I can certainly do the strain analysis via CAD if anyone is interested, but I guarantee the transom fails at the brackets before the ply does.
