I'm going to take a pass on commenting on the "pan" interior, because I don't have any specific information. However, everything I've seen PSC do, they've done right.

Perhaps we just assume that it does!

I haven't directly compared keels, but I don't feel that my Scheel boat is close-winded. It is, however, plenty competent for cruising. I have no safety...

Thank you. I have done the adjustments ... and it is good to know who the OEM was. PSC couldn't tell me when I called after buying the boat.

Engine Hours

I don't think you're that far off base ... I usually buy 20-30 year old boats so I have a different perspective.

Sailboat diesels often don't go more than 2000 hours between overhauls. This is...

Diesel hours

"Very lightly used" and 600 hours on a 2 year old diesel are NOT compatible statements. That adds up to almost 6 hours a week of engine use, 52 weeks a year. Since most of us sail more than we motor,...

I think the difference is between 1 and 3 degrees. This is just a guess, however.

It does mean something, but not much unless you're racing.

Scheel Keel

I have a 34 with the Scheel keel. They put about 400 lbs more lead in, so that the righting moment would be the same as the deep keel. She is stiff and stands up well to her canvas. However, she...
