You can read reviews on every bass boat forum and youll see that the Hambys beach bumper by far gets the best reviews. They last forever and dont come off due to the process used to put them on. They are also thicker and provide more cushion and protection. However, they are $450-600 to have installed, at least here in Louisiana.So, for me I just didnt think it was worth the cost because I only beach mine when I have too and thats not too often. I spent $150 on a Keelshield and installed it myself and havent had any problems. You will read where people have problems with the Keelshields and Keelguards coming off, but I think if you follow the directions to the T youll be ok.Hope this helps,Cass
