 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
