It seems you are saying that the keel bolts weren't the source of the failure, it was the layup of the bottom of the keel stub that failed? Interesting for sure. good luck eye-balling for this weakness...assuming there was wood in the layup, then that would sound like a construction red flag for boat buyers to watch for.
