Once the deck was lifted off the hull the sides wanted to sag a little. So I took my tape measure and took the inside measurements of the deck in several places. At the place I took the measurement I mark it on the hull. Then I took some 2x4's and ripped them in half long ways and cut them to match the width of the deck. Then I made some end caps and screwed them to the ends of the boards. Then at the marks on the hull I placed them over the hull. What this does is, it pulls the sides of the hull back in line as if the deck lid was back on the boat. Its very important to keep the hull as in shape as possible so when you glass things back in you don't end up making a twisted boat that doesn't ride very well.
