Hi
would most AGREE or DISAGREE with the statement:
"Although perhaps not as ideal as a lead keel, apart from expecting some maintenance such as sanding/blasting and re-application of a barrier coat from time to time (at intervals likely exceeding 10 years between), there are no serious inherent problems with iron keels and they will generally last for decades."
overall i'd prefer lead keel. have had iron and composite lead iron in previous boats.
considering a ca. 44 ft boat with an iron keel for next boat.
thanks in advance
