I had the keel on Imzadi reduced from 61 to 56, and installed a torpedo made by Mars Metals. Back when I had it done, the cost was about $3600. Mars was making the keels for Benneteau in South Carolina, and they shipped my bulb on the back of a load going to Benneteau so shipping was cheap. I expect that the same bulb would be more now because lead is more expensive. Ditto the scrap value of the lead block you cut off.
We cut the keel with a chainsaw, weighed it and reported the weight to Mars, they sent me a bulb that fit the profile of the keel and bolted in place with ½ carriage bolts they supplied. IIRC, the lost keel weighed 850 pounds and the bulb weighed 1150 (or something like that). The boat still points well and NCPHRF gave me 6 seconds for shortening the keel.

Mars metal, who i understand produced the keels for most of our boats, have the templates, datas and know how to produce a bulb in two sections that you can bolt to the reduced keel and fair. A kind of DIY kit. You can cut the keel with a chainsawand they will calculate the weight of the bulb to compensate for the loss. they should also advise you if you are going too far, from what i heard they have a good knowledge of our boats. https://marskeel.com/ <https://marskeel.com/> <https://marskeel.com/> MarsKeel |Production Lead Keels for the Sailboat Industry marskeel.com For 35 years Mars Keel Technology has united its passion for sailing & vast technical experience to supply quality keels to builders & sailors worldwide The shipping will be expensive!
