Having just purchased a 285 last year, the boat has spent the winter ashore on a makeshift but secure cradle. Whilst getting her ready for relaunch, I noticed a wobbly floorboard which wasn't there when she was taken out. It would appear that the keel (short fin/bulb) has migrated north by about 1" presumably from bearing the boat's weight over the winter. The boatyard reckon that this will settle out again after launch but should I be worried? There is little evidence of any cracking, the keel bolts look secure although I understand the boat was grounded in a previous life. Hull is in good condition. Any advice or comments on this would be gratefully received Brian
