In Response To: Foam bulkheads? (Lennart Berlin)

No, I still recommend foam bulkheads, I just don't think a "hard" spot is too big a concern due to the overall stiffness of the hull. Foam is much easier to install than plywood. Cut it slightly oversize and press it in. A little goop injected in the joint and your ready to go.
