Hi all,
New to boating and I’ve had the boat out twice on the lake. Been careful and mindful of hazards. No crashes, impacts.
Stupidly stopped at beaches on each trip but conditions weren’t rough and and no big jagged rocks.
I spoke to the local marine shop and they’re installing a keel guard, I was inspecting the hull to see how much scraping I caused by stopping at the beach and we also launch from the most popular area of the lake beach into a area that’s full of pebbles, again not shallow every man and their dog is there.
Dealer thinks the trailer could have caused the damage as it’s on both sides of the hull on the same parts. How serious are these chips? I just can’t figure out if I did this or
The trailer. And if this is me 2 days in being cautious I feel like I won’t have a boat in 12months haha.
Cheers.
