*On you or the boat or both?

In 2004 I noticed the smile on my boat, when I hauled out. I could
also move the keel, so I knew I had a problem that wouldn't go away.
I had the yard drop the keel, and when they flushed out the keel bolt
holes, a smelly substance came out (like someone died in there). The
forward keel bolt hole had gotten enlarged due to the keel moving
around. They ground the stub and the top of the keel, epoxied the
keel onto the stub, and covered the smile with fiberglass tape and
epoxy. They also had to fill a void around the forward keel bolt hole
with about a gallon of epoxy. I also had the yard make large, square
keel bolt washers, shaped so that the nuts would sit flush when
tightened. Cost was about $3500. *The smile never came back.*
