1800lb shallow keels are quite do-able and common. Think long instead of deep. . . . . or maybe you were . . .

rofl...only 1800pounds??? not heavy enough, thankyou...i prefer more like 18000-20000pounds of lead, encapsulated,long and deep,at minimum , with at least 2 pilot berths and a master stateroom for me. separate shower from head in same room, and 41feet of boat to play in and sail. flat wide decks. btw--i own that.
ok,now-- what do men want???? are all men desirous of same thing?? or is each of you an individual with different tastes?? is like asking what do women want-- depends on the woman you ask.....
