Hull Protection?

[Royjulius]

My bass boat has a keel guard to protect it when I beach. Is there a product out there that I can adhere to the bottom of my yak to prevent it from being scratched when I launch/beach?

Sweet. Thanks. I'll look it up. On another yak fishing forum that I frequent a guy said he uses Gorilla tape. Gator patch sounds like it may be a hardier product.

Seen a few boats that have a replaceable center front and rear that when it wears down for 10-15$ you slap a new one on

That's pretty cool, but I'm looking for something to cover a lot more than that. I like to launch with me in the seat and pushing off with my paddle, so I need to protect more than just the front keel. I'll look at their whole product line. may even contact them for advice. I have about 2 more months to wait til open water, so this is a great time for a project.

Actually, upon looking at that again, about 4 of those 9x12 patches will set me up perfectly! Thanks Swerve!

No prob.... I've been searching for the cheapest place to get the 6x9 ones. Here's the cheapest so far https://www.hodgesmarine.com/Gator-G...jqeniramsegdoh

Kinda like Gorilla Tape, maybe?

Yeah, but it says it has a layer of aluminum inside. I think I'll try it for that price.
