The best Keel Gaurd I've heard of is a Hambly's. Way more expensive than 130$. From what I have heard it is actually glssed into the keel. Way more than I needed. I am pretty handy when it comes to boat repair/maintenence, but I had mine prefessionally installed, and after watching him install it, I am glad I had it done. I never would have tackled it the way he did. Bass Pro only had the "KeelGaurd" brand in stock in Red, so I got mine from the installer, a little more expensive, but it appears to provide 3X more protection than the "KeelGaurd". All said and done, I have about 300$ in mine, and I am very happy to have it installed, and done. Trust me glass work isn't cheap, look at the keel gaurd as added insurance. If you can install your own for 130$, consider it ulttra cheap. My .02$
