Re: Nice crack I just found on the keel...
I am glad to say that I didn't cause it...I bought the hull completely stripped in january of 06' as a project, and I have yet to be out on it. The guy that I bought it from only owned it for mabey a couple years at most, and he did buy a roller trailer for it, but its not much of anything, and is most likely set up wrong, and deffinately doesn't have enough rollers. The plan is to restore her, and keep her in a slip, so the trailer thing isn't really a big deal. For some reason i just never looked at the very bottom...atleast i can say that even if i knew the damage was there, i still would have bought the boat.
Does anybody think that i could do the repair with no or very little acess through the floor? I had planned to redo the floor in a couple years because i just want to get her on the water. There aren't any soft spots in the floor. I have replaced the wood in the transom though.
Thanks for that advice thus far...i'll prob be able to post more pics tomorro of what i uncover.
