Dave, You should be able to work with your yard to lift the hull enough to work on the keel and keel bolts. You’ll need a sturdy frame to support the keel no matter what. I built my own cradle <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2015/01/in-shed-at-last.html> and it wasn’t too terribly difficult. No doubt but that the yard will be “involved” with supporting the keel given all that could go wrong…
You should be able to find info in this list about re-bedding and re-torqueing the keel bolts. Many listers have done just this type of maintenance. Certainly “the Google” will have plenty of info too.
