Tom, I just finished refinishing the centerboard. I can hear it clunk when it bottoms out. I did really sand and grind the board to get all of the rust off of it before I faired with epoxy and gave it a good coat of bottom paint. Maybe the slightly narrower width allows more water to come up around the board then act as a pump as the boat rises and falls in the water. Thanks for the idea.

Is it possible your cb tang is broken, and your cb is hanging down freely from the shoal keel? From experience, that will allow the cb trunk to conduct water freely up and into the cabin. t
