they are slide in on this one. More of a partition, not structural like on the s2 we have been talking about. This is a Laguna 26. chainplates bolted to the hull. I considered leaving the port bulkhead out completely on the port side to make it feel more open and just installing the compression post. My daughter didn't care for that idea, as it would leave the head open....Looks great! Did you laminate the new bulkheads?
We put a pen and paper to it. I have just under $1200 in this project including purchasing it (boat, motor, and trailer) sales tax, reg, and materials. I can't wait to get it on the water this spring. It's a massive upgrade from my sc22. The S2 we've been discussing goes under the knife next!
