| Checking the fit with the ballast |
 |
| All lined up nicely, |
 |
| A quick sharpening of the bit |
 |
| We clamped the keel to the ballast and drilled about 2 inches into it to get the correct position and angle for the keel bolts |
 |
| Trying to clear rust out of the iron |
 |
| We then turned it over to drill the rest of the way through, A bit of WD40 to keep things moving |
 |
| Even with two powerful drills we ended up using a vice grip and bar to turn the bit. Actually drilled quite quickly with it. |
 |
| The keel right where it belongs and the deadwood resting on top |
 |
| Keel in, floors laid in place |
 |
| The keel rebate meeting the stem rebate, The stem will be changed soon and halfed into the keel but its great it lined up |
