Re: Lead vs. Iron bolt-on Keels
How does that work with a lead keel? Are there inserts in the lead that the bolts screw into?
The Nordic 44 is probably my number 1 dream boat. clicks all the boxes. I hope you enjoy her.

Gorgeous boat. Probably not something you are going to want to place into the hands of a volunteer crew. You want someone with a proven professional track record heading up a competent crew.

Re: 2001 Catalina 400 MK II
13' 6'' is indeed a wide berth. I would worry a little about what got left out to make room for such a berth on a 40 ft boat.

Re: Diesel odor
So the reason I can't find a sign of leakage may be that it's all being soaked up underneath the tank? Makes sense. Any idea of what a 50 gal SS tank with baffles and fittings would run me?
