what is the function of the keel stringer?

[hermco]

He should be here today to finish off his yellow 20' I will see if he will log on and answer the question. You can see his 20 at http://www.hermco.net/new_page_1.htm

Boy I like that Seacraft Decal!! "Potter Built 2" Is that a new patent? Can I have one? I'll drive by the shop to get it [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

One of Potters sons had that made. I don't know if he can get more or the legality of it but he will be here soon and I will try to get him to logon. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Potter tells me the wood keel and the later pvc was to stiffen the area because most trailers were using rollers that would stress the keel. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Don,

What kind of SeaCraft is that?

Looks like a cross between the seafari and a sceptre. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Was called the Overnighter.Potter says it was the last one he designed and they only built about a couple dozen.

EBEACH,

Does it have purpose while underway? Or is that what the other four beefy stringers are for?

Thanks again for your help unraveling this mystery.
