Might be a toughy regarding splash well area. May need to cut that area out separately for the rest to lift up. No biggy easy repair. Save all the cuts to see if they can go back in later after fit.
Remove all the rub rail and save it. Take a lot of measures. Also make a cradle prior to taking off the cap so the mold does not go out of shape. Replacing top back will be a nightmare if you don't.

Make a cradle for the hull or the cap or both? Also what exactly should i be measuring.

The cradle is for "if you take off the cap." The sides will tend to mis-shape making it hard to put the cap back on.
measures are knowing the side to side meas. with cap on and cap off meas again for side to side. That way you can keep an eye on distortion if cap is removed. Even with a cradle do the meas.
Typically once the cap is off and placed somewhere safe that has no distortion.
