Hi everyone, working with an early 70's starcraft jupiter project. the transom is out and the new one cut and glued together ready to go back in. The decking is out, and thinking of paint at this stage. Will it be OK to flip the hull over with no decking or the transom in? concerned without any of the wood installed it will deform in some way, but without the weight it sure would be easier. what do you think...maybe at least install the transom? thanks.

You can flip it without any wood in it at all.

Clamp a couple of 2x6's across the transom front & back, brace the hull in the middle and commence the flippin!!!!!
