You can use composites the same way you would use traditional wood. I started with the inside first, rebuilt the stringers and transom and then flipped the hull over. I put an I-bolt through the transom drain hole with big washers on the inside and out, tied a rope to the u-bolt where your trailer winch attaches, raised it up like a hammock and rolled her over with a friends help. Boat is pretty light without the cap on it/fuel tank, or floor. You can slide some stout sawhorses underneath and lower it back down.
