Advice on repairing a 322 Oday

[Sailormann]

The boat is a 1988. I did check out Mars Metals and see they make keels. waiting for a callback to see how close they can match the original one. Other than keel, the boat needs a bunch of other stuff, like Sail, Masts, rudder. Motor runs great. They are asking under $4K, so it's obvious it needs a bit of work. Interior isn't too bad - needs the usual wood/trim restoration.

Keel, Sails, Mast, rudder... you are already over 30K. Basically, you're buying an old hull. It will cost you 50K to end up with a boat that is worth 27.

Can I interest you in some equities perhaps ??? There are some excellent buying opportunities in the investment banking sector, but you'll have to move fast.

If the boat's name is Semper Paratus,the keel is in 70' of water 3 miles west of Cape vincent,NY on Lake ontario.The owner has the lat-long.and you might be able to make a deal with him.

I read this a couple weeks ago, and remembered to take a picture of my O'Day 322 keel attachment. Picture attached. There is more to the front of this, but I'd have to lift the screwed down floor to view, hope this gives you an idea.

It's a 32 ft Oday 322 without the keel. Not sure where I could find a replacement keel, or someone to help with the work. I'm in upstate New York.

After looking at where the keel was previously located, it's not clear what the bolts were connected to in order to hold it in. Does anyone have any more detailed pictures of this?
