Well, I hauled out and spent a few days grinding and then about four days layering new glass, fairing and apply gel coat and paint. It all turned out well. I was able to drop the center board after removing the remaining bolts on the angle irons that hold it in from the bottom. Half the bolt heads had sheered off, but after removing the rest and dropping the board the shafts where exposed sufficiently to grab and remove. Only one bolt required drilling and backing out with a broken-bolt tool. I’ll post pictures in a bit that should make it clear.
