what is the function of the keel stringer?

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.

Sorry that last reply should have been pointed at HermCo

Was not necessary when underway but I'm sure it didnt hurt either. It was primarily to stiffen the keel area that rode on the trailer rollers.

HermCo,

Thanks for your help with this. I guess we can put this string to bed.
