On #456 there isn't any sign of a dimple as on your boat and #457, but the

I recently removed the bulkheads on #456 to rebuild/replace and found the 5
bolts you reference extremely difficult to remove. All 5 were bent, 3
severely bent. One was so badly bent I had to cut it to remove it.
As part of my repair, I plan to cut out more of the liner in the head sole
and include heavy posts in the replacement bulkheads that will be glassed
to the hull below the liner and extend to the beam. Then repair the liner
around the posts.

Although this work has not yet been posted, I too am keep a blog of the
work I do on my boat. It can be seen at:

I should be adding some photos and video of this area in the next few
weeks. I'll also be watching Jason's repairs of #457 closely and keeping an
eye out for any further info anyone else has to offer here.

Good luck
