anyone know the bulkhead wood thickness on 73 E25?
- Thread starter Stuphoto
- Start date
I can't answer that yet.
A friend of mine is a retired yatch designer / builder, and he just told me what wood to buy.
He should be back from his trip soon, and wants to help me with the job.
I know it won't be a finished product yet, since we both want to get out sailing.
I will more or less be landlocked for July and August because of my summer job, and house sitting.
But should still have enough spare time to finish them off during that time.

This is one of the first things I did on my boat. Looked easy but took longer than expected (especially the starboard bulkhead!
I like the way mine came out but if i could go back I would probably just put some nice white paint and go for that look instead of stain and varnish. I had to cut the bulkhead and some fiberglass to be able to replace the starboard bulkhead (If there was a way to remove it without cutting I'm too dumb to see it). Here are some pics before finishing:

Thank you Gabriel, it looks good.
I have been busy with all the other jobs first and won't start them until next week.
My starboard side has been braced with a sheet of aluminum, so I could safely leave that one for now.
However the port side is rotten. The only good thing about it is it still has enough wood to use as a pattern.
I think I can remove my starboard side without cutting, however I don't think it is worth the extra effort completely dismantling everything.
I am tempted to just paint it white, but haven't decided yet.
I do like the look of wood, but there is enough without them.
I am thinking, around a weeks worth of work and I am sailing.
