In Response To: Seeking: foam bulkhead thickness? (Paul Sylvester)

I used 2 inch in a light boat i use on flat water. Holds up fine so far but I do take it easy on the boat . Im 220 by the way and the kayak is 29 lbs so i better be a little careful. I think a stiffer bulkhead might cause problems under my weight with the thin skin.
