Keel and keel bolts installed.
Rusty is happy. The 750 lb lump is outa the way! The third attempt at casting worked perfectly. E-mail me if you want to hear the painful truth. An old dog can learn new tricks. The lead was faired with a sureform and power planer. We used ½" silicon bronze threaded rod and bedded the keel with 3M 4200.

Centerboard slot lined up well, thank God! Centerboard bolt hole bored for the 1" s-bronze bolt. Now onto finishing the centerboard and starting on the interior.
