I have a 2002 Tournament 223. The boat stays on the lift all year unless it's in for service or repairs. Any time I return to the pier from being out it is run right on the lift and raised. It gets very little dock time.
I was down in the water doing some pier repairs with the boat above me in the lift and noticed a scrape on the most forward point of the keel below the water line. It is scraped about 1 inch, maybe slightly more, and I can see the fabric which does not seem damaged. There are a couple of other marks but just minor. I have no idea where all this came from or when it was done. I have not noticed any additional bilge volumes.
I am hating the thought of hauling her out during the spring rockfish season here in VA. The question is - could I put off that repair and if so, how long without any worries? :?:
