I had a 1984 Wellcraft 180 Fisherman and saw the same thing with the bulkheads next to the hull sides - parts of the plywood was not covered with fiberglass leading to rotting wood. It appears that taking a shortcut or just poor workmanship was a common mode of operation back then.
Thanks for the picture of the hull with top cap removed. How did you get the cap off - forklift or other means?
