Just a matter of opinion, I think if you are going to hit something hard enough and fast enough to %$## up your lower unit. I doesnt matter that much what you are running the skeg comes first anyhow. Maybe the exception being a compprop. may save some damage. As far as a guard they do make skeg guards but with a 100 horse with power trim there is not a guard that will do much of anything. I used to have a 16 foot flat bottom that I had a metal fab shop weld a pitch fork head to the lower unit of a 25 horse and just kept the motor in the tilt up position. worked great for the back waters of the Old Man River. I would suggest getting to know the waters you fish well or sell your boat and get a tunnel hull or a jet drive just my 2cents.
