Final Fit and Scarf Joint of Keel Section: I decided that due to the size and weight of the keel pieces, (and my advancing age), I may attempt to fit, scarf, and glue the final keel pieces on top of the boat versus gluing them on the ground and then fitting them. With that in mind, I did the final fitting and scarf joint of the keel piece shown in my last posting.
