I wasn't able to view the new image, but if you are wondering how to attach the deck to the hull after everything is all glassed: Do your best to get everything as close as possible now. You will need to use a quite drastic rolling bevel on the sheer strip to get a reasonably tight joint. But it need not be perfect. Once everything is glassed up it will still have some flex and since everything is bound together you can probably force it to fit. Effort to make a tighter fit now will pay off in an easier fit later.
