Another reason is I thought the bulkhead would be much stronger if I could
glass the seam tape on both sides of the bulkhead. The plywood may give a
better place to mount the pump screws and washers (they would have to
contact the plastic bulkhead if not removed).

You might be making more work for yourself than necessary. My Romany's
fiberglass forward bulkhead has seam tape on only one side, and I have never
had a problem with it, even though my foot pump is mounted on it. And it
wasn't filleted with epoxy paste before the tape was applied, either.
