|  Adjustable Keel...
Hello everyone, I was looking at boat manufacturers online today and I stumbled across one which had an adjustable keel, which they call the Smart Keel. To me this seems ingenious, but it's yet another system which can possibly fail (moving parts). I'm curious if this is a common thing on boats? How reliable is it? Would people generally prefer this type of keel or stay away from it? Does it really transform the handling as much as they say? What are the general benefits/drawbacks? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
