I struck a submerged object with my 1982 F25. While inspecting the keel I lifted the boat from the blocks (7 stands). I noticed that the keel moves about 1/8 inch laterally to each side (1/4 in inch total). The motion extends up to the bottom of the boat. There are no cracks at the lead grp stub interface. The keel bolts seem tight and there is no water intrusion. There are no cracks at the stub/bottom interface either inside or out.
Does anyone have experience with keel motion?
DO I have a problem or is this movement typical ?
Thanks for reading

The true answer is below your cabin sole. Are any of the stingers damaged, is there any delamination?

the stringers appear to be OK
I can only see the top layer of glass and see no cracks or separations
