When you put stuff off it eventually still needs doing

Two of the systems I've left until now are the keel and the rudder.  My plan was to simply drop the keel and re-seal the surface.  ... sigh ...  not the case.  I know when I got the boat that it had one broken bolt.  Now, after closer examination it has at least 4 broken bolts.  Sistering up the bolts is totally impossible, besides, it's just plan bad engineering.  With a little research on google I've found the only two places in North America that even work on keels.  Both quote me over $10K for replacing the bolts.  This of course included shipping.
So, plan be.  Do what I'm good at.  Do it myself.  I've decided to wrap the keel with unidirectional fiberglass and epoxy.  First step after measure off the area ...  slow grind to remove the gelcoat on the overlap area and the lead keel.  Next, pre-cut all the unidirectional strips.  Then talk your friend into helping you.  He worked on one side while I worked on the other.

Ok, ya, I said two systems.  The rudder ... well, at least I don't have to send it anywhere but I still have to figure out how to get the dumb thing off.  It needs a total rebuild.  Maybe I'll just take a chainsaw to it, cut a gaping hole in the stern and start over.  Hey, now that's not a bad idea.
I ran across this article about another Spencer 42 owner who did a major rudder modification.  I can just copy what they did.
