quick advice, transom, stringers, cap

[oops!]

Im about to do the whole shabang
floor, stringers, foam, transom.

i have a book that says to redo the floor with the cap, (deck) on

the reason stated is, when you refit the cap, the new floor might warp the sides of the hull, making the refit of the cap difficult, (kinda like putting the wrong top on a tupperware container).
all of the photos ive looked at for floor replacement, have the cap off!
i have a 19 foot closed bow and replacing stringers and floor would be exceedingly difficult with the cap on.

my question is, can i just brace the sides? or do i "just go for it"
and pull the cap? do it all at once.

or like the book suggests, leave the cap on, then pull it for the transom?

the cap is ready to come off in two days.

thanks
oops.

p.s. if this ends up double posting, please forgive me and delete one of them.

ou

runabout renovation. jim anderson.
its a grade 5 level read.
he walks you thru everything, from buying the right boat, to surveying to floor stringer replacement, transom replacement building live wells, includes a list of suppliers.
its funny and he even tells you when to stop and have a coffie break!

the other book i bought, was the fiberglass repair manual. it reads like a technical repair manual. but it covers a lot of questions and walks you thru different products, pros and cons. i reccomend bolth books highly.


tash.... thanks for the links.
i ve got a ton more questions for you..... but in time!

thanks for saving me hours and hours
