I just make cradles that fit the hull after it's glassed that are a little loose, then wrap them in indoor/outdoor carpet stapled on then they fit the hull snug. They are easy to make if you keep the scrap you cut the stations from, a perfect fit. They are just screwed to the strongback, holds the hull with the stations inside nice and securely while not hurting the hull in the least, makes a great platform for working on the deck stripping.
