Hambys keelguard. Have it professionally installed & never worry about it again.

Theres Hamby then theres something less. If youre planning on keeping that fine boat a long time then it shouldnt even be a decision.

Line X Bullet proof. Lifetime warranty. Have had them on 2 different boats over a 12 year span. Regularly park my boat on launch ramp and have no signs of wear. Best accessory investment I've made. [img] http://www.linex.com/blog/2016/01/20/boat-keels[/img]

There is a substantial difference between a Keel Guard, Hamby's Light and Line X vs. the Hamby's Beaching Bumper. All of the lesser are just surface covers but the Beaching Bumper has an actual 5/8" thick super tough Urethane protection bumper for the keel. Worth every penny of the extra cost.

Yes "Beaching Bumper" is the true name of what I referred to as "Hamby's Original". It's indestructible.

Thanks Markson but Hamby's needs to update their website. Neither of those locations exist.

Johnson's Fiberglass in Burleson Tx is an authorized Hambys installation dealer. I just spoke with them & will be taking my Champion for a Beach Bumper installation. That's the best one out there. Ive had them on all 6 of my previous Champions & now the 7th. Worth every penny.

Not in the wildest dream or hallucination is Line-X as tough as a Hamby's beaching bumper.
