The bottom of my boat has never touched anything except stumps while trolling and it looks terrible under the flat part of the bottom. I mean it looks like it was run aground on the ramp. But my keel guard doesn't have a mark on it. And I never beach my boat. Just wondering if this is normal?

It had some thin gel coat. It scratched just trailering it. My Skeeter is a little less prone to showing scratches. But it still does. They fish better. Haha. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
