Default Re: Inboard beach cruising

You can have a false keelson made out of solid 1 1/2" round Stainless steel. Begin at a constant chord in front of the propellor shaft and parallel to it coming back. It needs to be posted to the hull in front of the rudder post and behind the propellor, though. It's similar to the Fish Nautique concept.
