[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 511629, member: 7021"] I am considering installing one of these on my new Tracker Pro Guide V16SC. My local ramps are all concrete with docks close to ramp, and even the locations/ramps I plan on visiting (CO river) are also concrete with docks close to ramps. However, I think the added protection in a hull location that is common for scrapes/gouges, etc., may be worth the effort and cost. I am aware of keel shields / keel guards on fiberglass boats, but apparently, it is possible to install on Alum hulls as well. The issue upon install on alum hulls is the center keel strake that is common on most alum hulls. According to Gator Guards, not all alum hulls will work with their product application (KeelShield), but many will. Tracker and Crestliner are two that will work. Alumacraft and Lund are two that will not, as their strakes are larger and have sharp edges. Has anyone installed one of these on their alum hull? If so, how went the install? How have the adhesion results been after install? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
