True
False
A bulkhead is:
A wall within the hull of a ship

True
False
The transom is:
The structure that forms the stern of the hull
The part of the boat where the center console is mounted
Made of thinner and lighter core material than the rest of the hull
The only part of the hull that does not require fiberglassing
Which epoxy additive prevents sagging the best?
Cabosil
Microballoons
Wood flour
Milled glass
Lifting strakes on V-bottom boat hulls increase their stability and allow a boat to achieve higher operating speeds.
