I know the feeling. At least I did that job when the weather was cool. have fun.

Very curious, where was the loose tabbing, aft by the rotten bulkhead or forward under the cabin?? Loose on the bulkhead surface or the hull surface??

the tabbing on the stringers looks fine, the front bulkhead wall had come loose where it attached to the floor under the gas tank, I got it all ground down and ready for the new wall to go in. The wood in the center stringer is still wet so I have heat lamps on it drying it out so i can get the resin to stick to it.

I'm getting itchy just thinking about all that grinding.

Phil, you might want to consider cutting a hole in your cabin deck so you have access to glass that new bulkhead in on both sides. If you plan it out, you can have an extra storage compartment under the cabin.

Yea, Im going to cut a access hole , I was thinking of getting one of those 11x15 plastic hatch doors to install , might be a a small hole to work through but less glass work when Im done with the walls

well it took all weekend and alot of sweat but I got the bulkhead walls and gas tank compartment floor in and glassed with exoxy, and I didbt get any epoxy in My hair{i wore a shower cap!!} I added the 3rd wall under the cabin floor just foward of where the cabin door is, I cut a 8" hole in the floor to access the froward side of the wall and Im going to install a round deck plate to cover the hole, there is already one in the step down area so I think it will look just fine. Now on to the gas tanks, I found a local guy who had some .125 5025 4x10 alum sheets that I picked up for a hundred dollars each . My metal fabrication freind is going to build me some new tanks the exact size that came out .
