......then install the footrests in the hull, all before attaching the hull to the deck.

What type of footrests are you using? (DIY or commercial?)

If I'm using bonded studs for bolting on footpegs, I usually do the studs before attaching the deck. However, I don't put the actual rails and footpegs into the boat until later. It's tricky enough getting the inside seam taped (for me anyway) that footpegs would just be 'in the way, and I'm sure I'd drip epoxy into them. If you do put adjustable footpegs in before attaching the deck, I'd mask/wrap them well in plastic.

Other things to consider doing to the underside of the deck would be padeyes for attaching hatch tethers (if applicable) and padeyes for under-deck bungees, though those can all be done later with the boat inverted.
