Instead of a full bracket, you might also consider mounting just a bit of a plate, or two thinner plates inside and outside of the transom. Those would protect the gel coat and also reinforce the area locally. Finally, they add thickness and that may help, depending on your clamp setup.
For my minimalist setup, I use two small bits of plywood, connected with a "hinge" of gorilla tape glued back to back. I hang that over the transom, then attach my motor. Same idea, but you might benefit from mounting those permanently.
