Im looking at a Hunter passage 42. Survey photos show that the aft end of keel has a bent curve to it. Is it lead? Could it be straightened?? . Probably with a couple little strong beams and large c clamps or porta hydraulic jacks. Maybe a little heat? It probably went hard aground and was bounced . .
Passage 42 Bent Keel

No the verticle aft edge is bent in a curve about 2ft long displaced in middle of curve about 1 1/2-to 2". Wings look ok.
Any pictures of the damage? As much as I’d worry about the keel I think I’d worry more about whatever bent it that way. That was probably a pretty traumatic event and who knows what other damage that could’ve done to the hull itself. For that reason I’d definitely have a surveyor take a good look, if I were still interested in the boat.
