Review: After reading all the reviews concerning this bulkhead, I find myself in agreement with the majority. A pre-cut, model-specific bulkhead would have made this a 5 star review. I started by tracing the intact bulkhead on a piece of foam poster board, then taking inside measurements of the kayak.I cut an inch from the top and sides of my template, then fitted it into the kayak.I then shaved the bulkhead with an electric carving knife to the size of the template. I struggled with the adhesive tube and suffered a blow-out. which reduced me to smearing the adhesive by hand. I followed up the initial coat of adhesive after 24 hour cure timeby masking off the bulkhead and kayak walls with blue painters tape and applied a bead of silver silicone caulk,removed the tape immediately, and ended up with a real professional look. I LOVE having the capacity for dry storage, and feel that it was money well spent and makes my 2008 Pamlico 100 an even better platform. Delivery and ease of order with ACK was 5 star.
 
ACK Reply: It is close to impossible to make a bulkhead that will fit a polyethylene boat right out of the box due to the inherent nature of polyethylene which after the molding process will change shape and shrink at different rates depending upon temperature. There will always be a need to modify the replacement bulkhead to get a proper fit.

Review: Its great to have a bulkhead available for the Pamlico 100. However, Ive got to agree with everyone else. The manufacturer should have provided a simple posterboard template for the various boats that this bulkhead will fit. I gave it 3 stars because of that. Otherwise, its an excellent idea and a quality product.

Review: I was surprised the bulkhead did not fit better since it was for the Pamlico. It took me about an hour and a half and then another 30 minutes to give it another once over with the glue. I like my dry storage.

Review: I placed this bulkhead into a Pamlico 120. The hardest part of the entire process was measuring the template; I used poster board, but it was too rigid and was difficult to manipulate inside the kayak. I cut it into several pieces and taped them together (as the directions and all of the internet advice suggested) and ended up with a template that was fairly close to what I needed. It did not work in the end, and I shaved, cut and sanded the bulkhead down to a reasonable size and shape for the kayak. Overall, not a pleasant experience.
