You have heard correctly. My boat had three holes added to the keel by S2. The holes were filled with some sort of material which over time absorbed water and leaked through to the surface all winter. Overtime this resulted an an ugly, bumpy messy keel which needed to be fared. We followed instructions from S2 which included removal of the filling material, replacement with a new plastic (foam?), removal of a band of led in the area of the holes which allowed fiber glass to be fared in over the holes. The boat is still way over weight but the process was approved and did not result in a penalty. I agree with Scott, removing weight from the keel won't do good things for our boats. |
