Keel drop

Keel drop

I bought a boat recently, I've worked on a few but I'm a first time buyer. Everything on the boat looked great but as I was working onboard and looked in the bilges I had a bit of a heart attack moment. I'm kicking myself because I hadn't seen the keel bolts before buying it, but they're really rusted. Even somewhat crumbly. I'm working on getting it out of the water right now but I'm worried about moving the boat from its relatively protected slip and up the channel to the shipyard.
