To Chris with M15#247; I'm the guy Bob gave the repair info to wherein he also mentioned your nose piece. You win! I thought my repair job was going to be big but I looked at the pictures of your boat and you win hands down. All I have to do is be sure the keel is firmly affixed to the hull. Yours looks like a major rebuild. Does your boat sit on the trailer with no keel support? Is it supported just by the bunks? Have you had any cracking or damage at the keel/hull joint? Did you use an epoxy faring compound like Marine Tex? I'm thinking about getting an estimate to have mine done because the only place I can work on the boat is the driveway. Good luck with your repairs if you aren't already you'll be an expert when you are done. Ken Wheeler M15 # 128
