Priced a Hamby heavy duty protector

installed at four places. Bass Annies, Memphis, $895 Performance, Sardis $695 RJ'S Outboard, Brandon $495 and an individual who does them for marinas and himself who leaves somewhere in the Rankin County prison area $450. One of the fiber glass places directed me to him. Didn't keep his number. If anyone is interested the guy that runs Hamby's also has this man's name (at least I think it's the same man.) I was already at RJ's when I got the last quote so I went with them just to save the extra driving distance and hassle in the city. RJ's also uses an individual so it probably is the same guy. Did a super job. This report is kind of jumbled but I've said all this just to say it looks like a big price difference between North Miss and South Miss.

What is it? A Keel protector?

Yes. Hamby's makes a heavy duty protector they call a "beach bumper protector" that must be dealer installed. They also sell a "hamby's light" which can be DIY at home.

Worth every penny

Can they be installed on an aluminum boat and how long is the warranty for?

It's going to depend on the design of the hull. Call the contact number at hambys.com and they will know.

I've done a bunch on aluminum boats without a problem. I did have one that can loose at the very end under the boat, but they make a product that fixes that and it worked to perfection.

I've used both Keel Shield and Keel Guard, but haven't done a Hamby's.
