I hope dealers know about bulkheads :-).  When a recreational kayak has at
least one bulkhead, it is always said in its specs. But when it doesn't have
any, manufacturer's opinion seems to be that there is nothing to say, so
they don't :-).  I don't really get a recreational kayaks' right of
existence even within some limited range of conditions - they have to be
wooden to be unsinkable or or incredibly wide to be uncapsizable even on
flat water, due to some unpredictable acts of a paddler.
