In Response To: Floatation? (John Monfoe)

I have always thought about adding a second bulkhead at the bow and stern about 8-12" from the ends where the
space seems wasted as far as storage goes. It seems the weight would be negligible, and would add a safety factor of
multiple chambers (you know, just like the Titanic!). Any input?
