You probably know your mast etc best, so there is no need to allow drainage for any water coming through from other fastenings - If you glass the base the water will stand there and possibly cause...

Your boat would need also meet certain equipment regulations; I would guess that most of those would be easy (pdf’s, fire extinguisher, paddle etc). What I’ve seen about US boats they all would need...

I have been told that electric motor bearings cannot take much thrust so there should be a python drive or similar thingy there. Belt drive if there is no room for the motor in somewhat straight...
