Stone Guard

[radmaster]

Just wondering what you use to protect the hull of your boat from stones when towing over unsealed surfaces. Our Club boat has like a tonneau cover that comes down over the front and attaches to the trailer, is there anything out there ready made for SAN's?

I had to tow my boat about 1000 miles once, and although I don't have a picture, I simply hung a 2X10 from the rear bumper. Looked like H#ll Yellow_Flash_Colorz: but it was very effective in keeping gravel and road grime off the hull.
I checked with a number of people who haul their boats to tournaments, and they almost universally preferred a stone guard hanging from the rear bumper. There are a number of commercial products, some that use rubber, some using a bush, etc.

I use one of these behind the Excursion, attaches to the draw bar and seems to work pretty well. http://reserveamerica.campingworld.c...=1450&src=SRQB

This is WakeUpDude's. I don't know what make it is though.

It's the Roswell RockGard. It's pretty nifty, good for if you tow with multiple vehicles. You can get them off their website...like www.roswellwakeair.com I believe. Ours was only $550 shipped. Looks pretty sharp and fits great. :mrgreen:
