Different model boat, but ours is about six inches below the boat hull.

Just a question - if you can't see it on your boat, why do you want to know where it is?

I have an MH37 and the keel hull joint is in two levels, about 12” below the full at the front end and then steps up about 6“ on the last 2’ of keel at the stern end. I discovered this one spring on the hard in Toronto when condensation formed on the steel keel but not on the fibreglass hull leaving a very clean/clear line and a wet keel / dry hull. You might be able to replicate this by splashing warm water on a cold keel or cold water and a warm keel. My physics is rusty, but one of those should replicate what Mother Nature did for me naturally.
