Stringer replacement and bulkheads

[74 Glastron 74]

I am replacing stringers and bulkheads on a 1974 glastron i/o, The question i have is the old 2 bulkheads were not laminated to the hull, just to the stringers, i want to put a bigger engine and strenghten the hull with wider stringers , can i glass/ epoxy the bulkheads to the hull or would this put stress and or crack the hull ??? all the videos i see for other brands of boats are all laminated to the hull .

Probably should be moved to the repair and renovation section.

Yes, glassing bulkheads to the hull would be a good thing in general. There have been a few Glastron restorations over the past few years. So, take a look at the threads and it should give you lots to go by.
