While bottom painting okbayou this weekend I noticed the aft end of the keel is raised off the support a couple inches. Just wonder if other '96 era Seaward 25s are sitting on the trailer the same way? The only way I see to level it out would be to reposition the winch higher on the post so as to not pull the bow down. This could explain the acorn nut under the engine being buried in the fiberglass. Also noticed some moisture around the hull to keel connection at the aft end. There was some separation so I epoxied the seam before bottom painting. Anybody else notice this on their Seaward 25?
