HELP-SunDream 28 - Bilge and keel bolts

[peterk800]

Hi All,
Im looking for some help.Iv a SunDream 28 and I'm looking for drawings/layout/spec or pictures of your bilges of how the boat was built and reinforced. My reason behind this is i think someone converted it from a lifting keel to a fixed keel or was in a accident and doesn't look like a great job so i want to strengthen the right areas and fix the crap job that has been done on the boat. Any help on where i might be able to get these would be great or if someone has been through it before it would greatly help as id like to get the boat in the water as soon as i can but want the job done right.

Peter,

Do you have a place to link and post the pictures you have on the FB page. Then some may be able to say good or bad about what you have going on. I'm still in the your boated started life as a fin keel. But someone "MAY" have grounded it with some funky repairs. OR, since I have not ground any of the paint away from my Arcadia, to see if I see the same general picture as yours, you may also be stock normal! But the plywood cross pieces have been sitting in water, hence the delaminating of those cross pieces.

Also look up Sun Way 28, that is the model after yours with the same hull. BUT, a different cabin, slightly lighter, smaller rig than the Arcadia/Sun Dream models.

Peter - worth asking a friendly Jeanneau dealer if he could look up that HIN number from 1989 - the Jeanneau records should show if it was built as a fin or lift keel version

I have uploaded your photos of your Sun Dream keel issues
