That camber in the aft deck is important. To capture it I cut a cross-grain profile of the deck from a sheet of 1/16th basswood, steamed it, and, as usual, clamped it to a work board with a 1/8 dowel scrap as the fulcrum:

It took a couple of steaming/drying sessions to get the deck to behave, but when it was stable I cut and fitted the transom assembly to the stringers and keel.

At this point I had already peeled off the aircraft plywood decking using a knife tip and a lot of caution. This allowed me to now fit one inch of the rear deck flush to the main deck. I also cut out one section of the main deck to capture the essence of the bulkhead between ribs 21 and 22.
