Looks like a keel weight for a sailboat.

I've heard of shaving the keel for speed but that's taking it to the extreme!

One advantage of sail. A properly designed monohull sail boat will right itself if knocked down, or over.

Bill, nice boat. Is that the one you were working on?

My Hunter 43 has 9700lbs of a formed keel. Wings, even.

P.O. left a couple of nasty nicks in the leading edge of the bulb.

Those keel bolts look about the same size as mine.

Funny thing, I just got back to the boat. Pulled the floorboard, measured.

2" stainless.

Hey, where is Loudonville? We are stuck in eastern Long Island most of August. Am renting a nice car and driving anywhere but L.I.

Would love to come see your project!
