Hello! Looking for advice. Since I am in Iowa I spend the majority of my time sailing on a lake that is not very deep. The lake is basically a giant round sand bowl that gently goes from the shore down to a max depth of about 12 to 14 ft. I currently sail a Chrysler lonestar 16' LS and love every mi...

I just purchased a Chrysler lonestar 16 foot in pretty decent shape and was curious if I could mount some type of small ...

Steve, I am sorry, but I have not had to put in or take out that keels yet.
