I had a similar concern when I built my Coho. I tried positioning them exactly per Pygmy's instructions, and had to trim them considerably. Don't worry about it, decide where you want them, trim them with a block plane (there's a little miniature one that Stanly makes that comes in handy for final adjustments), and put them in.

Because Pygmy obviously oversizes them, it's probably a bad idea to install them to the hull before you fit the deck, as you will be trimming them anyway to get the deck on right.

Hope this helps, Chris

: I've been building a Pygmy Coho for the past few months, and have finally
: attached the deck to the hull. I was curious to see how tight the
: bulkheads would fit, only to find out that it seems as though the bow
: bulkhead is too tall to get in. I know that there is some variance due to
: the layers of glass on the inside, but should it really be that tight? Is
: it possible that they shipped me a bulkhead kit for another model? Did

: fit?

: Thanks in advance for any feedback.
