Man What a Job

Keel fractured and swelled into the bottom of boat a real feat removing it

---

Keel removed but the real job is in just moving it from under boat to garage

I could not budge the heavy keel so I hooked my tractor to it and dragged it into the garage

---

I thought that was Fun Oh Boy it has just begun, Hammer and chiseling

Now I am getting down to the guts of the matter, Wood will have to be replaced for shape and metal will have to be ground and treated. Not much left of this important part, not to worry I  do collision repair for a living

---

Completly stripped and treated

Now What did that thing look like? Ha Ha

---

Beginning to take shape again

New treated wood cut and attache3d to steel ready for Glassing

---

First Fiberglass Coat Man it sure is itchy in here

Kinda looking like it did I hope!

---

Keel Done! As Much as I am Going to do

Fiberglassed Primed and then Rhino Liner reduced and sprayed on, Hardest most durable finish I could think of.
