Simple answer - bolt or weld 2" or larger angle iron to the bottom edge of the keels inside and out to form a flange at least 4" wide. This will keep the boat upright in almost any but the softest mud, and will not affect the handling.

The sexual life of the camel is stranger than you may think,
At the height of the mating season it tries to b@gger the sphinx,
But the sphinx's negotiable channel ist blocked by the sands of the Nile,
Which accounts for the hump of the camel,
And the Sphinx's inscrutable smile.

Re Eventide; thought the boat looked familiar. My E26 has that mod and has yet to fall over (famous last words!), sitting quite happily upright in soft mud at low water each day.
