Hump in the floor
Posted: Fri Jan 17, 2014 9:52 pm
Our Ballad exhibits a bit of a convex hump in the cabin sole as it sits on its keel on dry land. Has anyone else noticed this hump, and does the salon floor become flat or concave when the boat is in the water and the keel weight hangs down?
I ask this question because we plan to do structural work in the bilge area, rip up and lay back down the floor pan, and replace the bulkheads. We don't want to build this 'hump' into the repairs, then have them stressed when the boat is launched.
