What bow protector would you suggest/do you use and why?
I’m not afraid to park my Xpress on a sandbar and I’ve run her across some shallow oysters. The hull integrity is fine but I’m considering a little added protection.
I’ve been looking at Hamby’s, Keel Guard and Keel Shield.

I bought a keel guard just a couple of months ago… I really need to install that joker. Never seen one on an aluminum boat but if you cleaned it well and wiped down with acetone I can’t see why it wouldn’t stick and work just the same.

Xpress now offers them as options on new boats and I’ve seen other aluminum boat with them installed so the installation doesn’t scare me. I’m just wondering if one brand is any better (or worse) than another.
