I used the "strap & tape" method on my Chesapeake, and it worked pretty well. One caveat, though... it helps if you trim the deck so it's close to the right size (say, within an inch or less overhang) especially on a flatter rear deck. Otherwise putting enough tension on the tape to hold firm can result in excessive "bowing" of the deck.

Here's briefly what I did:
Use a slow-curing epoxy if working solo so you'll have time
Spread thickened epoxy on shear clamps for the half (fore or aft) of the deck you'll be working on.
Set deck in place & wrap 3 or 4 hold-down straps (like the cam-straps for tying the boat on your car rack). Straps should be spaced less than a foot apart on one area of the deck. Start at a deck beam or bulkhead
Tighten the straps until that area is firm against shear clamps & at correct curvature
Put tape between the straps (I used clear packing tape, stretched a bit to hold tension).
Loosen one of the straps & "leapfrog" it over the other straps toward the end of the boat. Tighten & tape. Continue in this fashion until the entire deck is on.
Be sure to let the epoxy cure THOROUGHLY before removing the tape!

Good luck!
