When redoing bulkheads, make sure you address a weak spot in the 25s design, not enough bulkheads forward of the forward tank bulkhead. It needs at least one and maybe 2 and should tie both main stringers and the inner liner together, so they can support each other. Blue Heron figured this out why this is true and will have a wealth of knowledge on how to fix it. There is so much room under the cap that you can do all of this without pulling the cap (personal experience).

Thanks for the Input!
I have read about this and have talked to X on here about it. There is just over 7ft between the bulkhead in the center and forward.
Immediately I found it odd how the center stringers were lower down in the hull with very little if at all attachment to the structure. I do see a fuel tank platform and the loose filled foam under the cabin area but don't feel those were structural components as designed. All items poorly placed due to a lack of drainage causing rot as most already know. I don't even think there was glass laid up on the plywood in the center of the bulkhead (maybe just coated in resin?) Some photos of the rear (engine compartment) and midship bulkheads (obviously shot).
