Ha Yamtt;
One of the things I and many of the other guys on this sight have done and practice all the time is to always do the job Better and Stronger than the original Seacraft’s were built. Not that the boat was built poorly originally but to simply improve at a little “kick it up a notch”. The boat might not have been ½ inch thick originally but look what has happened. It was either sanded of by beaching over ruff terrain, or the boat hit a object under the water like a rock or a tree. By over building, If it is that in this area is a safety practice. You could either build up the keel from the eye cleat all the way back to the center of the boat with four then two inch strips of glass and then just filler in form the old hull gelcoat into the new keel thickness. Cosmetically you would not notice and now you got more glass there. If you go in from the inside you could build up from the inside and your ½” thick that way.
