    My fiberglass boat also has a keel stepped mast. I used white thick
    showercurtain plastic for the boot, enough wraps to make three layers
    with SS solid band (not with screw adjuster cut out slots) hose clamps
    and Marine Goop underneath to seal, looks fine, I have to change it
    every ten years or so when the plastic deteriorats but it doesn't leak a
    drop even in hurricanes. I use thick rubber as 'shims'.-Ken
