Make your fore and aft bulkheads using the closest stations to make cardboard templates.

Scribe and fit the cardboard to fit the location and shape of deck and hull. Make your permanent bulkheads from these.

I put a 45˚ bevel on one side of the bulkheads to allow micro adjustments with a plane during final installation and give a good bit for your fillet.

Install these before joining deck and hull and these should keep the hull shape true.
