So I know most of the vets around here have been through this question before as my research has shown a number of swing keep questions. However none of them really touch on my issue.
Having spoken with Blue Water yachts we are trying to figure out what the hell my boat is weather the make or year is off which is somewhat unrelated but anyway I am working on the underside and tomorrow is stands and primer on the remainder of the underside.
The Issue: The keel which is covered in fiberglass or plastic or something is in awful shape so Im considering doing some repair work. However here is the issue BW Yachts tells me that their vessels in that year bracket did not come with any fiberglass or anything over the keel sooo im looking at it and thinking to myself, do I need the material there or not. I would consider the wear of the glass or whatever it is to be heavy enough that Im concerned of the condition of the keel under it (sagging and split fiberglass) Of course until I get in there and start tearing it off I wont know. so the question is, do I need the cover thats over the keel? is there a benifit to having that cover?
