I just finished a boat (Black Pearl) where I only glassed the inside of the deck first. Then I flipped it over, cut/built the hatches and laid up the coaming. Sanded the outside and glassed the deck to the hull with a 2" overlap down the down the hull. Easy peasy. A single layer of 6 oz glass adds sufficient strength to the deck to allow you to lift it as one piece and move it about. Spacers in the hull held the shape and the single layer of glass allowed the deck to flex easily to match the sheer line of the hull.
Six of one, half dozen of anther, I guess.
