The AC boats of the 1980’s showed us just what difference keel could make. Keels were so secret they were shrouded with tarps. Now that was really protecting secrecy, right? Anyway keels make a difference. My 35 MKII could benefit from more ballast. A keel shoe or bulb would be nice but i have lots of fun and feel safe without it.
