You are right to be concerned about the chainplate spacing. I almost goofed up before I realized it. What I did was re-install the chainplate (I had already started disassembling before I realized it) When I had them exactly the way they were before, I went back below and scribed a line where it came through the bottom of the deck. That gave me an index line for re-installation. Worked like a charm.

New bulkhead is in. Not too bad of a job at all. Now I just have to figure out what to use along the edge of the board to close the small gap against the hull. While I was at it I also cut a new board for behind the galley sink in anticipation of a new fuse panel and stereo.

I agree with Frank. Just finished reading in this months wooden boat about G10. Pretty cool product that I think would be a perfect alternative to any wood product for this application. Here is some info from a supplier of the product. Plenty of info on the internet if you search "G10".

G10 would not be appropriate for that. I think the weight and the cost would be way too high. 1/2" 4'x3' is $362.00. And that piece isn't large enough.
