keel guards

[nitro189]

I need to install a keel guard on my boat. It is a19ft nitro fish and ski , have looked at hambys not interested in there large beach bumper also keelshield,keelguard.I will be installing myself,Any recs on any of these or others?Also what to most of you do at low water(when docks are out of water)to launch your boats alone with out damge to hull

KEELSHIELD IS WHAT I WOULD USE . AND WHEN THE WATER IS LOW JUST PULL UP ON THE CONCRETE . WHEN THE WATER IS LOW THARE ARE NOT MANY BOATS AROUND TO MAKE WAVES . JUST NOSE THE BOW UP ENOUGH TO HOLD IT FOR A FEW MIN.

When I was launching alone I tied my anchor rope to a cleat and when I stepped off the boat I carried the anchor up the bank and dropped it in sand or what ever would hold. When I got back I picked the anchor up, walk to the water swing it in the water to clean it, put in on the deck and climb aboard and stow the anchor and go fishing.

Mike you mentioned a place in the area that installs the Hamby. What was that name again? And was the cost for installation within reason?
Thanks Rich

rufishn, Wilson Marine up off of Glade Road as you are going towards Red Top the back way.
I am on the Hamby Prostaff and was the one that got them to pick up the Hamby line so I got a pretty sweet deal. If you ask me, whatever the cost of the Hamby's it is worth it to protect a 30K + boat.
