Has anyone repaired a cracked keel for the N24. My Boat is a shoal draft and the forward part of the area where the centerboard, there is l a crack that runs up the inside of the keel verticaly.
This may be due to the fact that the boat sat with a large amount of water inside the cabin and the expansion of freezing water could have cracked it.
I had it in the water half of last summer and noticed some constant water leakage above this area inside the cabin and discovered the crack when i took it out for winter. I would like to repair it before next season.
Has anyone done a similar repair? What does this type of repair intail? What type of cost am I looking at? Where to start?
