Keel Bedding Survey

[KWKloeber]

Most of the times that there is major damage "down there" it is due to "from above" not from seawater intrusion. 
Incorrect blocking doesn't result in major keel bolt/bedding damage.
Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.

11 months later and she's finally back together!  5200 in the seam and sealing the bolts.

Damage to the interior wasn't nearly as bad as it looked once the gelcoat was ground away - mostly only skin deep like Eric described.  There was a tabbing failure on the mast step but it might have been old.  There was only one other real crack (about 1:00 in the attached picture) that needed fixing.

Launch is scheduled for Monday and there isn't really time to let the 5200 fully cure and then do a proper taping + fairing job, so I'm going to (mostly) follow Dan's approach of painting it and calling it good enough until the fall.  Except I'll add a layer of putty and/or barrier coat just to be sure water doesn't attack the glass in the meantime.

Thanks again to all of you for holding my hand through this process.  I'm very much looking forward to getting back on the water.  Cheers!

Congratulations, looks good! A couple of comments:
1. Don't skimp on the barrier coat. It needs more than one coat.

2. Make sure your keel bolts and washers are NOT coated with gelcoat or paint. This is to prevent rustING due to oxygen starvation.
