My Lagoon 450 Bulkheads are BROKEN & I have to fix them myself! Why won't you help me Lagoon?

I don’t know why I thought I could fix my own bulkheads, but I’m in too deep to back out…
There are about a thousand Lagoon 450 Catamarans and sadly they all have defective bulkheads. Lagoon claims there are only a few broken boats and won’t take responsibility. Out of 55 boats who have checked so far, over 52 have the same issue. Instructions and a form to report your findings are here: http://rspott.com/bulkhead/
Text from the original facebook post:
“I’ve been thinking a lot about how things could have been if I went with my 2nd choice…the Leopard 48. I’d be living the dream aboard, lounging on the flybridge next to my hot wife and watching the kids bounce around everywhere they shouldn’t. Instead I’m alone on the hard and have to climb a 12 ft ladder in the middle of the night just to share a single toilet with a whole marina.
We have broken bulkheads…and fixing them has been harder than I ever imagined. I went to a lagoon dealer in the Carribean for help and they sarcasticly told me the fix was a secret. Instead I had to follow a stranger to a foreign country who was kind enough to share the repair and guide me through the process.
To be honest we considered cutting our losses and buying a newer 450, but after FULLY exposing the bulkheads and seeing 3 of my buddies with the same issue in the same place, it was clear that the boat had a tiny weakness in a small area and we’d eventually have the same problem on a newer 450. Despite these exhausting 2 months, I still absolutely love my 450–it’s hands down the best boat in its range! C’mon the fly bridge is amazing!
I’ve straightened all 15 tons of her and am finally prepped for grinding and cutting the fiberglass… Hull 205, 2013, No hurricane damage, not grounded, ex charter. “.
