Bulkhead's look about like mine did. And what Connor said. Plenty of room to work under there but gonna be sore, cuts, bruises, itchy is just part of it. Herons pics are gone but he made a small bulkhead and a platform with a bilge pump using pink foam and epoxy. I miss his pics that was a wealth of knowledge.
I’ll give you 2 of my big regrets
Better Drain tubes under deck
Rigging pvc tubes under deck
As we discussed raise the center stringer and Add small bulkheads between stringers for a platform for the fuel tanks.
Id suggest only do 1 bulkhead at a time they are toast but they do add rigidity and you don’t want it twisting on you.
Good luck templating. Cardboard worked best for me. Cardboard to 5mm board sanded and shaped. Then cut out coosa. And glassed in.

Yeah I see a lot of crawling, aches, and bruises in my futures….I’m use to the itch already, Lol.
It’s funny you mentioned the drains and rigging tube because I have a plan to drain the low cockpit areas with under deck drain pipes either back to the bilge or directly to thru hull. There doesn’t seem to have ever been a pathway other than through the cheap thin bulkhead at the transom so going below deck and below the cabin will be likely. Seems like just forward of the helm is a good spot for batteries. Don’t know about them all to one side.
I was planning to lay a piece of Coosa directly on the center stringer and tab it to the sides (do you see any issues with that?) of the stringers so I gain some depth, structure, and give me a platform off the hull bottom to rest tanks.
