Help!! Boat curled a little

HELP!!

Between when I glassed the outside of the hull and when I glassed the inside, the hull has curled about 3 inches in (1-1/2 each side). I only left it for 6 days, but the weather here up in New England has turned cold and dry. Will this be a problem when it comes time to connect top and bottom? I would think that once I got the inside and outside taped, it would be good to go. I can use stickts to spread the hull to the right width. Am I right?

Hopefully you will have experiences like this and it turned out fine.
Please...
