Umm... if I read the original question right, the deck hasn't been attached yet. (Queen Charlotte is a Pygmy design). If the deck isn't attached.... lifting the boat, turning it upside down and pouring, will create a nice big epoxy puddle on the floor, rather than an end pour. If you want to do a vertical end pour, you need to attach the deck first.

I've had no big trouble doing horizontal end pours --I made a small dam from cardboard and used tape to hold it in place (putting the dam about two inches back from the tip of the bow, and angling inwards a bit-- you can do the pour in one batch -- you don't want the end pour to be too big, and you need to make sure that the dam you've created doesn't bulge out the hull, otherwise the deck won't fit. If the pour winds up being too small, you can always do a vertical pour later after the deck is attached. If you're worried about excessive heat build-up, wrapping an ice pack (one of those flexible blue ice things works great)around the hull at the pour after you've poured it will solve that problem.
