So I got a solid hull and the place to fit the keel into is off center. What do I do?

If possible you can redraw a center line on the bottom of the hull and flatten in out.  This would be where the keel and stem would be.

Could you use a strip of basswood and fill the off center cut out and then cut a new one. I am assuming it curves around the hull so you might need to soak the basswood then form it first. Use pins to hold it in place and after it drys glue it in. You could do it in sections too. Then just make a new one. You should be able to get the basswood locally. Hobby Lobby, Micheal's, or a hobby store.
