I finally get the opportunity to preview a Bav30 on the 11th of November. Today's question regards the keel. My current boat (1981 purchased in 2001) came with a cast iron keel which had been blasted and expoyed by the previous owner and it has stood up fairly well. As I look around the yard there are many boats with cast keels in poor shape. Are Bavaria keels factory prepared such that they require no additional protection from rust prior to launch, or does one really need to do a complete POR15 and epoxy of the keel prior to first launch to seal the iron?Regards.
