Pictures say it all. An hour to install, protection is priceless

What he hell took you so long? Put mine on in 2005 & it's holding up better than the flipping boat  ~b~

   Put the pieces together Keelshield, Powerpoles, and you have one fine parking ride. Makes those solo days so much smoother.

Ditto on Ron's comment! lo My KeelShield has been on since I brought my Legend home the first day! ;) Best investment yet for a bass boat!

Problem was slowing down enough to take an afternoon to put it on  ;) actually only took about an hour and a half.

Mike,  I have the same Keelshield memory lapse disease.   ~roflmao  However,  I haven't slow down yet.  ~b~   I've had my Keelshield setting in my garage for a while and two boats later I'm gonna slap that sucker on my boat this week. The keelshield article is motivating and a great read!

Mike Cork

Thanks for the Kudos on the article.

Definitely take an hour and get it on. You won't need it every trip but it sure is nice when you're caught off guard and do!

They do the same thing if that's what you mean  lo but my Keelshield is Kevlar and I can install it. The hamby's is not and you have to lift it off the trailer and you have to put straps on during cure.

A Keelshield is what is attached to the bottom of my boat that let me park it on the corogated launch ramp and not hurt it.


Not sure about your smilies? Mine are there?

10-4  Sounds like its worth its weight in gold.  Especially for resale value...

I want to buy a self-install keelshield. Who on the board offers a good discount to members. Is Wild Bill still around and sponsored by KeelShield?



Thanks fellas

Mike Cork

Wild Bill got caught up in a new job and hasn't been back. That was over a year ago  :'( guess he doesn't love us no more. But jump on facebook and hot Scott up. Tell him I sent ya  :-*

I dont know who Scott is?  What am i missing here. I assume he is on this board.   I want to buy a shield.

Mike Cork

Scott Smith is the owner of KeelShield and very active on the his facebook page. Shoot him a message there and he'll get with you very quickly.

At the current time we don't have anyone that sells the KeelSheild.
