Thank you again Greg - very informative.

I believe the floor has already been cut out, given above the keel is now a wooden floor screwed in.  It is good to hear that sailing may not be completely terrible without the drop keel.  The previous owner believes the drip keel itself did very little.  I guess I will find out with my limited sailing experience (always been motor driven, which at the very least Pippin will do well).  I have a friend who will be a better judge of sailing performance for me.

I will keep the forum posted and keep another seahawk ploughing the chop.
