Yup, saw that. Didn't want to go there, but it doesn't scare me. I put the vacuum on the void leading forward for several hours, injected acetone into it, let it dry, put the vaccum on again, more acetone (chases water because it evaporates so fast), whipped up some West System with thick filler so it was ALMOST ready to kick (the white, hard one), one more hit of acetone, injected the slurry into the void and nailed it with the rest. Hard as a rock, no leaks. Now I have to fix my two 4" sawzall 90 degree notches. I'm just going to tape them up, leave a hole at the top, and fill it with the same slurry. That end of the keel needs a little glass, so I'll run strips of biax around and under the repair as I fill in where someone did a shitty repair job just forward and above the aft end of the keel.
