so here's what I'm thinking...
Since my outboard port stinger is empty (no rigging or foam) I can cut a slit in the deck between the two stingers wide enough to slide down a piece of 1/2 inch thick fiberglassed piece of MG plywood. I'd have to get the dead rise of course for that area and I'd make a cardboard template first to make sure I had a good fit for the deadrise, then I could just cut that piece I slide down flush with the deck, grind out 12:1 then glass the top of that area of the deck and walla, theres a bulkhead. I'd leave a drainage hole in the bottom inboard side of my new bulkhead so any water could drain to the bilge like it does now. Then do the same thing for the aft bulkhead and then I have a storage area. I would just need to add an aftermarket hatch and I'm good to go right? my inserted bulkhead would not need to be perfect match to the hull deadrise as I will just be storing bigger items down there. anyone see any issues with this? There are no fuel, electrical or anything in that area to interfere or have to move. Please help, I need another winter project.........
