Westerly centaur bildge area

[Gunblade]

Hi just wondering if anyone has any pictures of inside bildge area - can't find anything online and curious to see what it looks like.

Or any other (under the hood) pictures.

I'm thinking of purchasing a centaur

Thanks in advance.

Ask on westerly owners association maybe which is cheap to join I’m told

Be also aware that most Centaurs over the years would have had extra GRP added to bilge area to stiffen / correct keel splaying that occurred to many that repeatedly dried out on moorings.

Many Centaurs will have had their keels repaired or reinforced, But there are still quite a few that have not been done or done badly. Over the years at our club alone i have seen 6 centaurs one Konsort & Two Discusses that had keel trouble, Two of the Centaurs & one Discus sank.
One of the Centaurs actually had a recent survey commisioned by the previous owner for insurance that stated "Bilge keels have been professionally reinforced". This when it was easy to see that the boat was as it had left the factory. The new owner had no choice but to do the repairs himself and had zero recourse to that surveyor.
Caveat Emptor!
