Just a quick update. I finally managed to glue the two hull halves together with some difficulty due to the slightly warped parts. I'm currently working on smoothing out the seam with putty. I've drilled holes in the bottom of the hull and the base for the brass pedestals, and screwed everything together temporarily for now to see how it looks.
I'll be gluing some nuts inside the hull so I can put a machine screw through the base and the pedestals. I'll be spending the next week or two cleaning up the hull before priming. My next few steps after the hull will be figuring out how to correct the problems with the deck structures and how I'll be rebuilding them.
