[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 476328, member: 15636"] You're actually talking about the 'keel' itself. Which just so happens to be of pretty much of the same design as the 'strakes' also put on tin V-hulls astride the keel (but inside the 'garboard strakes'), being an upside-down V-extrusion riveted to the hull. Strakes add longitudinal strength to the hull and add lift by creating aerated water as water is pushed away from a planing V-Hull and exits keel exit the running bottom. If an inner fore to aft piece is added to further strengthen the keel', that is called the 'keelson' ... [i]but we digress, just go fix the affected whatchamacallit area and git out on the water 8) !
