What you are basically asking about is the hull a single material. The answer is yes. Though the laminate is multiple layers, it chemically bonds together creating a solid single material to shoot through. Assuming there are no air voids in the glass (which is unlikely as the aft portion of the hull is relatively flat and easy to lay up, and that Ranger is a quality product) the transducer will have no problem shooting through. You do however have to make sure that the transducer is ahered to a clean spot on the inside of the hull preferably with epoxy.
Most builder actually overlap the laminate along the keel and at the transom for added strength so the area is thicker than other parts of the hull.
