After fairing the interior and joining the hull & deck, I've never had ANY form that will fit as a bulkhead template. I just start with the next-biggest form, and shape it down until it fits. It usually goes further in that I thought it would. BTW, I did a little experiment. I cut out a piece of 3" mini cel foam and a piece of 1/8" luan ply to the same size, and the foam actually weighed MORE than the plywood!
