Where can I find a Keel Guard?

[Darren Gereau]

I hit a rock while beaching my new Nitro 188SF I took a small chip out of the gelcoat on the front edge of the keel. Does Nitro make a guard for this? Or is it a aftermarket part? Where can I order one? I live 3 hours from the dealer so I want something I can install myself. Any advice?

BPS and Cabelas sell "do it yourselfers". My dealer installs Tech 5 which I have. Hamby's is also supposed to be top notch, but not a DIY.

get a tech 5 or a hambys put on your boat by a pro. Believe me its money well spent. I have heard horror stories of the diy type ones coming off the boat and doing damage. I have had two tech 5's one on my old boat and one on my new boat and they are super. I have also heard great things about the hamby's you may want to call them and see where the nearest installing dealer is.
