I'd give Robert Ten Eyck's idea a try too.

The hull bottom is a good place to find out how the filler looks. You won't see it later.

NOW is the time to go over the hull carefully and find any mis-aligned strip edges. It's easy to fix them now.

Cut on the strip joint with a new utility knife blade, apply glue and force the strips into alignment. Put scrap strips across with hot glue to hold the hull strips in place until the glue cures. 1/16" thick scrap strips will conform to curved surfaces.
