Dennis, Since mine is not leaking into the bilge and freezing is not an issue here, I think that I'll go with your approach even though my crack is much more extensive. I have to wonder if they didn't overdo the prep work when the barrier coat was applied 6 or 8 years ago. Wally, you dropped your keel and redid the joint, an input?

Torque the keel bolts to recommended spce, slap a layer of glass tape around the hull keel joint and go sailing. That's what I did 12 years ago and haven't seen any cracks or issues since. Have bounced on the bottom a few times since also. It's Touche' that's on the DIY "Fixing the C&C Smile" link on the photoalbum site. Dennis C.

This is a project that I'm going to have to tackle on my 38' as well. The keel joint is showing a definite crack along the entire length but I don't have any water in the bilge at this point. Advice?
