Some advice on rock/skeg guard

Post by BAD BEHAVIOR »

During the cold months(hunting season) I had the pleasure of buying a 3800.00 foot and lower unit for BB. Kinda hurts your feelings to do that to a boat with 31 hours on it!!! :oops: Now Im hunting a rock/skeg guard to hopefully slow doen the wear and tear on the new skeg. Any suggestions?? Motor is a 2006 Optimax 225 on a Triton 22lts. I have a 4 blade performance prop, if that matters. Open to all suggestions!

Puttin a rock guard on BB's Boat would be like puttin a 5mph bumper on Dales #3 :lol:


And thats all I got to say about that. :-D

:smt009 YOU GUYS :smt009 . Anybody have any info on Porters? Ive heard alot about him but not where he is. And actually , every time I have damaged my skeg I was going less than 5mph. Once in the channel @ Keaton and the big knock was turning the boat around at Ecky. (Right by the dock!!) :hammer:
