Keel

The keel arrived and was trucked over from Kona side.  Funny that the location in Hilo is where I stopped by to ask about free pallets to use in mold making.  Well there they are, one stop shopping!!
Lessons learned (not my favorite phrase):
1.  Get advice on shipping.  I saved 300-600 bucks by following suggestions.
2.  Keel does not need a pretty box to get home.  The pallet here was provided by Commercial.
3.  Getting those holes on the flange..well there is a machine shop down the street from the shipper or I rig up the press at home...hmmmm lesson to be learned soon.
4.  Glad I waited on project till this arrived, it was touch and go for awhile.
