Quick video showing the boat flip! Now the fun starts! https://youtu.be/bL4s6vW9udk

On my CS-17, I used hollowback on the bow and the rest of the keel has a strip of epoxy soaked nylon webbing. I remember lots of skeptics when I did this but it has held up fine after many a beaching.

Hello again for the keel strip I used 1/2 round 3/4wide brass

This makes for one of the best kind of posts in this forum. Critical thinking and sharing ideas, the best.

This is one of those "well, I did this other thing" posts. I decided on 1/4" HDPE plastic for a keel strip, because its cheap and I knew I would cringe over grinding away a metal strip on ramp pavement or whatever. I used G-flex epoxy and flame-treated the plastic to help the epoxy stick. I figured the plastic would be a little slipperier for launching and retrieving off the trailer, but I don't know whether that's actually the case. Three seasons- so far so good. Bob
