Steve-
The reason I was asking is just that...at a couple launches I use they are so shallow I can't pull in far enough without having the keel run up the paved launch ramp & drag across it for a pretty good distance. It's not bad in warmer weather because I can stop the boat short, hop out & load it on the trailer by hand after backing the trailer in way deeper than I usually do & being in the water at that time of year is no big deal. In the cold though different story, as colder water is a bit harder as far as slipping/safety concerns(I have to go in mid-thigh high to trailer it). I guess I would rather beat up a Keel Guard instead of damaging the actual keep after repeated contact with a solid object. Thanks
