I have several really good fishing spots that require me to drag my boat over shallow rocks to get to them. My current boat's bottom is totally scratched up. I am wanting to buy a new boat, and I'm wondering if there is anyway to to protect the bottom besides UHMV? I know UHMV is an option, but it is more than I want to spend. Also, I'm not running down the river and hitting things. When I get to a shallow spot I stop, get out of the boat, and drag it. If there isn't an option, maybe I just buy a used boat that is already scratched. I just don't think I can in good conscious do what I want to do with a new boat, unless there is an option to protect the bottom.
