[QUOTE="shootandfish1, post: 323532, member: 5184"] Hi folks, I need your help. I have to 'beach' my boat on concrete ramps when launching/loading. I've tried to be careful and not let the boat 'drag' on the concrete. This evening, I was underneath the boat and got that 'sick' feeling. About 12-14 inches of the keel is showing some decent abrasion. I've only had the boat 4 times and thankfully, Sea Ark uses 3/16 in material for their keel. Don't think that I've done any serious damage, but I want to address this ASAP. I'm looking for 2 solutions, First, something 'quick and dirty', even if I have to apply each time I go out, and a more permanent solution that can be addressed this winter. Thoughts? I'm going to call Sea Ark, see if they can offer any ideas, but would like to hear some wisdom from the crew here. Short term, I thinking some kind of paint, bed liner? Go ahead and chuckle, But I'm seriously considering 'layering' Gorilla Tape over this section of the keel. Thoughts and comment are truly appreciated - Fred [/QUOTE]
