Well, the hull on my 15' ranger is done except for sanding and varnish.
The keel, that I decided to install half way thru the project is ready also.
Bare oak with no finish as yet.
I plan to install the keel prior to varnishing the hull and using thickened
epoxy.
Questions;
I feel that I should use at least several coats of epoxy over the keel, but
should I also use glass over the keel ???
The ends of the keel are reduced to approx 3 / 16' in height and I plan to
use one screw into the keel end going thru to the stems. The keel overlaps
the inner stem ends by about two inchs. I am assuming ( you know what that
means) that I cannot go without the screws and trim the ends of the keel
down to smoothly flow into the outer keel line, correct ????
Has this been tried by anyone out there ???
