Bet it had a keel smile,

Hey Joe... what does that statement mean? As a layperson I'm just
not familiar with that term?

Just google "C&C smile". There is some sort of gasket between the cast
keel and the hull, with filler added.
When you see a C&C just hauled from the water you knowtice the flexing
causes a crack at the joint, when you look at the boat from the head
on the crack makes it looks as if it's smiling. Bobspirt had this
problem with the C&C he had.
