Southwind tunnel fiberglass help and questions
« on: April 26, 2018, 06:42:45 PM »
So the bulkhead (wood divider under the bow. It was attached to the stringers and to bow completely sealing the bow off)in this southwind I picked up is rotted. But it looks to be added at some point. Half assed actually. Boat was used as a drag only boat but I’m gonna make it a river boat. Obviously a fast one but river boat nonetheless. Is the bulkhead necessary in a southwind? None of my other jets had one. It would be cool to not have it so I could store stuff under the bow.

Maybe send a PM to Tim. He has a good running SWTD and knows quite a bit about them.

Depends on if it’s  a lite lay up to support the bow. If ur looking to get some mph out of her I’d suggest it.

Thank you for the response! Been trying to find out. It’s a lake lay up. Pretty thick hull.
