In Response To: trailer keel position (link) (Al)

Al,

The the aft end of the winged keel on our 94 sits slightly above the keel board on the trailer. Not a couple of inches, but just high enough that when a did a barrier coat and bottom paint I could reach back almost 6 inches on the bottom of the keel between the wings with a foam brush to paint. I did not try to lift the rest of the keel up tp paint the bottom. Here is our keel when we bought the boat:

Here is a shot when I was sanding and prepping it:

Here is how it sits forward when I was done (bunks were lowered one side at a time to paint):
