Denise-
You do want to have a slight gap between the boards for the ceiling on your boat. That way any condensation can evaporate. I wouldn't use screws into the deck, since any water leaks can cause water to run along the underside and capilliary action will wick water up into the core. Epoxying the furring strips to the hull is a much better idea IMHO.
BTW, the sides of the interior of a boat are referred to as a ceiling, and the "ceiling" of a boat's interior is generally called an overhead.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
