You probably saw mine at the Nautical with one on it. The bottom of my boat is blue and you can hardly see the blue keel guard on it. The sand on the beach used to leave white scrathes on the bottom of my boat that were really noticable. I'ts about 12' long, so on a 30' er like mine it doesn't even come to the step. It sure helps protect from rocks and sand though..... I think I paid about 600 for it.

Nort, don't act so different when people are around. I didn't want to mention the part where you were doing a little "snorkling" under us!!
