Use a piece of scrap underlay or light plywood and a bunch of
pointy sticks, which you screw into place on the scrap, while
pressed against the salient interior confines to take
measurements. Number and mark their location carefully until all
dimensions are captured, then unfasten the sticks so you can get
the disassembled template out of the interior, then put them back
together where you had them marked and screwed. Trace from the
endpoints of each stick to recreate the shape you measured inside
the boat. You can mark the chamfer or bevel of the join on each
stick, after measuring it with a gague at each point of
measurement after screwing it to the scrap.

Sonds like a pain, but it's the easiest way to get a full size
template of an odd shaped partition or bulkead inside the boat.

You may need to make bulkheads in sections if you hope to get
them back inside the boat, assembling them in situ.

Get a copy of Bruce Bingham's "Sailor's Sketchbook". Read his explanation on
using a "tick stick". It's illustrated (obviously, since it's Bruce Bingham)
and very easily understood. No glue. Just a board a pencil and a stick.
