I went from a full keel Ahlberg that is so wide a keel its hard to dig a path in mud once its stuck, to Ericson 25 normal keel which is annoyingly deep like 3 feet but which is so narrow I can wiggle and scoop a bit and dig it out backward when I ground in mudbank. Maybe I can't in 10 years but at age 40 I can wiggle and move it at 5000 lbs which surprised me but am glad. I am guessing the bigger Ericsons of 10,000 pounds CANT BE WIGGLED AND PULLED FROM PERSON IN WATER OR CAN EVEN BIG BOATS BE PULLED OUT??? I am on shallow end of Clear Lake a bay north of Galveston TX, it is still tidal here so waiting is my other plan B for water to rise.
