This makes good sense, and I believe it will also keep the hull from spreading out after removed from the forms. This strip resists side forces to help minimize that tendency to spread out.

So on the inside does this strip stay for the deck join? It would make it very easy to clamp the deck to the hull (assuming you have hatch openings and can reach bow and stern). I would think you would not need to fiberglass tape the seam- just epoxy coat the strips after joining. You have plenty of surface there. Also you could use the internal ledge as a mounting point for footpegs or internal bungees. Keep us posted on this one!
