If you are drilling the front of the through hole lower than center then this will also act SLIGHTLY as a keel weight and you don't have to drill a belly hole and fill it with weight then epoxy.

I'll post a picture later if you want.

I've been doing that with needles for years
works good for spooks as well


Excellant post Jigman
