Starboard (and other marine polymer board like Seaboard) are not structural.
If the span gets to wide they sag. A bukkhead would be very expensive and
not all that strong. I built a large hatch (18x34") to go between the
forward head and the sail locker out of some 3/4" Starboard. Had to add
ribs to the back side to make it stiff enough.

I used 3M DP-8005 adheasive. Expensive but far better than 5200 and you
only use a tiny bead of it so there is little if any squeeze out.

StarBoard Projects and Fabrication Techniques

"King StarBoard is an extremely versatile material. Strong,
lightweight, never splits or warps and completely maintenance-free,
there are few wooden items on board that can't be replaced with
StarBoard. Working with it is easy, certainly no more difficult than
wood, using wood fabricating techniques and tools."

Humm.....just wondering would starboard work for a bulkhead
replacement??? And if so anything else that should be considered?
