Water damaged old bulkhead now removed and new 4 foot 6 inch by 5 foot 8 inch high one half inch thick Okoume veneered sheet installed. Varnished and looks sweet. Marine plywood comes oversize from J Gibson McIlvain lumber in White Marsh, MD. Sheets come in 10 foot 2 by 4 foot 6 wide. I traced 2 walls out of one sheet and now have spare if someone needs it. Many screws and chainplate bolts, plumbing, wires to move, etc.. loosen shrouds to enable bottle jack to raise cabin top for compression post rotation for wall removal.
There were some tricks and tips if anyone would like me to share.
It's lots a work but do able.
