Steve,
I've seen a lot of threads on bulkhead replacements. Why did you replace
them? What do you see or look for to determine replacement ?
Thanks

Steve......I replaced both bulkheads because of wood rot. I had a local
boat yard do the job.. It cost $1400.00, about 5 years ago.
They cut out the old wood and replaced it with marine grade plywood, and
then this plywood sheet was "sandwiched" in between two sheets of 1/8"
aluminum, then painted. This was all "kerfed" into the existing curves
and lines of the interior, so it looks quite good. Naturally, the
chainplates were then re-attached thru the aluminum and plywood sheets,as
originally designed. These sandwiched bulkheads were attached like the
originals, and I don't have that detail off-hand. A Marine Surveyor
pre-approved the job and inspected it afterwards, as it was part of his
Survey before I bought the boat. I paid for the repairs. I was well
satisfied with the job, and if I had ALL the proper tools, I feel I could
have done it myself. If you have any other questions, gimme a call @
920-743-1994, or e-mail me, as I'd be glad to help here. Good Luck!

Has anyone replaced the bulkheads in the cabin
(i.e., those with chainplates in them)? Is it difficult?
How are they attached?
Thanks,
Steve
