Catalina 22 swing keel

[Petes Cat]

I have recently acquired a 95 Cat 22 swing keel version. I have it docked at my house on a lake and the lake is dropping quickly due to drought like conditions.
Is it possible to allow the boat to settle into the muck if the lake keeps dropping? Will this potentially damage the trunk or the lead keel.? Thx

Why take the chance, put it on the trailer until conditions improve. If it gets stuck, you're not going to be able to retrieve it until the water level rises.

Thanks, but that would be obvious.. I don't have a trailer or access to one. The question remains can the boat settle in the soft mud/dirt without damage?
thx
