[C320-list] Support of the c320 on its keel

[crashley at gte.net]

Larry,

You have a trailor for a C320? I didn't realize they came so large. I had my 
C320 hauled out by a yard just last week to install an Autostream feathering 
prop and dripless seal. It looks like most of the weight was on the keel 
while it was in the yard. See pictures on the Catalina International site in 
the "Tech Articles" photo section.
