Keel nose block shape

Now that the boat is flipped I get my first real look at the bottom. It seems that the transition (or lack thereof) of the keel nose from the leading edge to the keel bottom should be rounded off substantially. I would think that the current design would want to make the nose dig in rather than ride over things. I see several posts about damage to the nose and wonder if having a gentle curve there would help. It should also make rolling the keel up on a trailer easier. Maybe there’s a good reason for the shape, and if there is, I’d like to be enlightened before I make the mod.
