Wing vs Fin Keel
The Chesapeake has lots of crab traps to avoid. With a fin keel, I''ve yet to snag a trap. I hear folks with wing keeled boats snag them quite often.
Also, if I go aground, I can usually get myself extracated by backing down. If a winged keel boat goes aground the keel can act like a plow-anchor. Getting extracated is more challenging on a winged keel boat.
