Hi. Don't know if that last post on this thread was for me, but the bulkhead was essentially sound, and there is a sturdy compression post in place too. Cabin roof seems strong with no flexing or cracks.

Ahhh the Rhodes Rhot!!  The rot is a key component of the recycling program! Lol!
  Dont know who the poster was about the new 1992 Rhodes rotting out but looks like you removed the bulkhead.  You must put in some sort of a compression post to support your mast if you remove the bulkhead.

So, I just glued some automotive carpeting on the cabin side (along with the visible inner hull surfaces). On the side that faces the head, I sanded it down and covered it with a couple of coats of white topside paint to have a surface that's bright and easily cleaned.
