I had no voids and I did not separate the hull and keel, but this would have made excavating the filled part much easier, in addition to being able to address the keel to hull joint. I would reassemble prior to adding any compression posts and refilling the keel void of course. Wrap the joint at the end after torquing. Dave 33-2 Sent from my iPhone
