Hull/Keel dimensions for 1979 O'day 28

[skipperlenny]

I am in the process of modifying a trailer to fit my 1979 O'day 28 tall rig. My search to locate these specs on the Net was fruitless.
Any assistance directing me to where I can locate these specs will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Lenny

You will have to take your own measurments. the keel as the bottom center line, level front and back then up where the bulkheads are. and out from the center to the turn of the hull. most pads and stands seem to set about 8- 10 ft apart. Do you have shoal draft or fin keel?

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
I am a O'day 28 tall rig fin keel; however, the keel is robust and wide, not your typical fin keel. I believe the keel is approx. 40" for the bottom center line and 7" or 8" wide. I have located other O'day 28's but they are a different design, it appears that there is 6 different designs for the 1979 O'day 28?
I will be lifting my boat out with a crane and am attempting to configure the jack stands on the trailer to accomodate her.

Before the boat is on the trailer, take the time to lube and loosen/tighten every nut and bolt. I broke a couple of them while the crane was there holding the boat in the straps.
