Centerboard and trunk
The beast is now permanantly intalled! After a week of hefting around the centerboard trunk I finally got it installed. The trunk's made up of 1" plywood sides with 2x10 cheeks and rebated caps on either end (by the end it must have been upwards of 130lbs). I will install a athwartship brace log on the leading edge to distribute the twisting forces. Simultaneously, I poured a little lead (40lbs) in the trailing corner of the centerboard to help hold it down. I was quite pleased to find lead can be planed with a powerplaner with very little effort!
