CSR Crew I have a question about keel depth on a boat. Was at a boat yard and noticed a young lad welding and expanding the keel on an aluminum boat. I asked him and he said for stability and tracking. How much do you think it would improve those things. I just got curious about it. Thanks guys. JC
 
Think sailboat with a deep keel and big rudder. There are power boats with keels and big rudders. They are usually trawlers type boats. I suggest you don't add a bigger keel to your 450DA if that is what you are thinking.:D
