Steve- Thanks for your insight. By aft bilge, I meant the space under the cockpit sole. Thinking about it now, that's higher than the bilge in the cabin, so disregard.

Mark - Thanks also for your insight. I hope the additional pictures shed some more light.

I know what you're talking about with the covering that's usually on the tops of keel bolts and it isn't there. My first thought was also that it was removed so someone could attempt to tighten the nuts, but at least from the pictures I took I don't see anywhere where it looks like they cut it away.

As for the centerboard tube, elimination certainly could be an option. If I had the choice though, I'd like to keep it functional. Let me know what you think of the state of the tube from the pictures. It isn't factory fresh, but it doesn't look too bad. I don't have the experience to know what's really bad though.
