Maybe you can expand on that a bit? Every set of plans I've seen shows some wiggle room on bulkhead placement, so apparently that's not carved in stone. And the aft bulkhead will be anywhere from 'nearly flush' with the rear coaming, or placed back a bit, correct? How does that affect seat placement?
