Speaking of Keel Failure...

[Gramp34]

I agree John. The photo of the back end of the keel is taken in the shade. I think the keel was still on the boat when that one was taken.

The other pictures of the keel have it away from the rest of the boat.

But the damage on the trailing edge of the keel doesn't seem to show in the other photos. Maybe it's the angle the photos are taken at. Maybe they sledgehammered the lead back into shape from the port side so we don't see any marks on the starboard side in those pictures.

Check out the coral heads on the entrance to the Turtlle Cove Marina where I believe this boat might be! Only room for ONE boat at a time through the very narrow portion of the cut!

I think I know what happened: "A wave hit it!"

Substitute "keel" for "front" here:
