What kind of keel is on my H260 WB ?

[TheCaptainJames]

Hi,

I have a 1998 Hunter 260WB that we bought in 2009. We've never had the boat out of the water and I was wondering what kind of keel out boat had. (Winged, swing, etc.) and the approximate dimensions of the keel. I've attached a photo of the lines on the top of the boat. Does the white line move the keel?

Thanks

I have a 1996 H260 Water Ballast. You have a 5ft Center Board which is controlled by the "white line" you mention. Your draft goes from 6 ft with the center board let down to 18 inches with the center board up.

Your boat is unique in that it is a water ballast boat. Recommend you check out this link that explains what you need to know about this type of ballast:

No keel, just a centerboard. The boat is water ballasted.
