[C38] Keel Stub Wood Removal?

[Kerry Grimes]

I seem to remember that all the 38s do not have the plywood in the keel 
stub.  I'm not sure but i think that 84 and newer do not have wood in 
them.  Maybe a call to Catalina will straighten that out.  remember that 
the smile on the keel has nothing to do with the wood on the keel stub. 
  Even if you have a Catalina without the wood in the stub you will 
still see the smile at one time or another.
