Front Bulkhead

[Chomper]

Hey guys I was pulling my reserve tank out from in front of the main tank today and after I pulled it out I noticed that the bulkhead was rotten big time. My question is will I be ok with just replacing the middle section of the bulkhead? Everything else seems solid except for the middle, but I imagine the rot would have spread outward. I really don't want to cut my deck if I don't have to.

Cut all the bad out and fix whats left you will be fine

That is what I was thinking. It is hard to see from the photo but most of wood is already out. I just have to give it a good cleaning and rough it up a bit for the repair. The bad part is I was just cleaning up the boat after the transom work and doing some cosmetics. Oh well cosmetics can wait until next year, fishing comes first.
