Same one you have

What has your experience been with the iron keel?


Well as I told you I took a bunch of paint of last year. This year I
brushed the rusty bits with a wire brush and used the same Interlux XXX
on it that I used on the rest of the bottom. I hauled on Sunday and
there are a few rust blister on the bottom 4 inches or so, nothing
serious, I'll probably follow the same procedure next spring. It would
take a long time to rust through that keel, at the thinnest point it's
what, about 8" thick?

Cheers
