As you'll see by the pictures, the hull of my Vladyka Sea Star is wide open with no internal bracing....I don't like that idea, so what would you guys recommend? A couple of full width bulkheads, or a 1/4" x 1/4" framework round the edges with a couple of cross struts?

The bow section will be filled with blue foam cut to fit tightly and glued in with silicone sealant, so that may add a bit of strength.

What do you think, guys?

It might not need any bracing once the decks attached ?.If you must then just get some light ply and make a bulkhead and silicone this in place.Leave cpl holes for motor placement and lightness.

Cheers, me dear...the hull does fit into a sort of channel inside the deck, so maybe you're right...once the two pieces are glued together it'll be ok. We shall see...if all goes well, I'll get the hull and the deck joined thisarvo.
