: Hi there, Shawn.

: What's with the babies and stuff? What kind of twisted priorities have you
: sunk to? Boats? Babies? If it weren't for selfish and eccentric folks (and
: thus baby-free) like us, the world would be overun, I tell you.

: I milled 3/4" plywood down to just over 1/2" for the bulkheads.
: Each face has a full layer of S-glass, with an extra layer on the
: 'exposed' face which also wraps around onto the exterior of the hull and
: deck.

: The bolts go as far into the corners as possible, given the width of the
: fillets and the diameter of the fender washers. These areas already have
: lots of glass from the strips bonding the bulkhead to the boat, so other
: than making little flat pads to give the washers full contact, I'm adding
: no further reinforcement there.

: I know you know the customer. He's been pretty interested and excited, and
: very forgiving of my long, drawn-out work.

: Cheers, and maybe we'll see you next year towing a baby barge.

: Pete,
: in Snohomish

Hi 'gain Pete

I know you are probably in a hurry to get out of there and on the road, but how are you sealing the sections off. Aside from the usual, epoxied bolt holes, will you be adding a bead of some sort around the perimeter of the breaks to keep moisture out of the gap between them..??
