: Joe's custom carved seats have a column of foam supporting the

: must be the reason for Joe's question on bulkhead placement.

That makes sense. I'm curious, though - is anyone putting their aft bulkhead more than an inch or so aft of the rear coaming? Any 'recommended practices' for placement? I've read some place it right at the rear coaming, both for deck support, and to minimize cockpit flooding.
