Great pics and nice looking boat.

I suppose I'd put the bulkhead behind the back of the middle fin box. I am a big fan of fins ever since I installed a set of O'fish'l fin boxes on my plastic whitewater boat (Dagger Redline) so I'm definitely installing boxes on this boat.

The reason I asked is that I don't see bulkheads on other whitewater or surf boats and I wondered if there was some engineering reason for this. Perhaps the boat needs to be able to twist a little when you are getting trashed under a wave and solid bulkheads might make the boat too stiff... I'm not saying this with any knowledge whatsoever, just thinking out loud.
