I'm a new sailor and a sailboat owner as of this morning.. I've got a 1978 23' ericson and a couple of dumb questions to ask.. how can I tell if it's a centerboard or fixed keel while it's in the water, I have an old inspection form that came with the boat that indicates it's a c/b, but that inspection was done in the water so maybe they didn't know. While on the boat, I couldn't find a board or cables or anything that looks like a trunk for a c/b.. If there are any photos of the difference, that would help. Would the hull number tell me? Thanks for any info and wish me luck..
