Is it possible to remove Fixed keel on 68 Mariner?

[dayjam]

I need to know if I can remove the fixed keel on this Mariner. I need to go pick it up and bring it 1000 miles to home but I don't have a cradle for my trailer. The trailer is for a 26 ft boat and the mariner is only 19 ft. Any ideas?

I've seen a fixed keel mariner of the same vintage without the keel, there were bolt holes going through the hull.
