Hey Bill,
I thought you would and other Seafari owners. It is a matter of time before the bulkhead wall tries to kick out. Thru-bolting makes me feel alot better when white knuckled to the wheel!!
I meant to get back to you awhile ago as i did check inside the foward hatch. It just amazes me that how different each year can be. On mine i see a finished gel coat liner inside there? The top could be tabbed in, as it seems to be void there with just foam to the top sleeping deck.
But behind this inner gelcoat liner, it may have broken away like yours. I guess i would know know unless i cut away the liner to check? I hate to do that, but i can see that it would be a big help to fix if broken away.
I will have to take some pics to see what you guys think ...
