My thought is to increase my stringers by about 3/4" so there isn't as much gap to cover.
I’m doing a mix of what you talked about. I went through took all the measurements and then transferred that to the sides of the hull. Used a y foot level to confirm the heights. This created a floor height level. I then ran strings at the sights of the bulk heads and stringers to get the heights. Thankfully the heights were all very close 1/4 inch off. Used a common middle height, that put me close.

Skunk, I was thinking the same thing.
