Need advice on Keel Guards

[GrandLakeBoater]

I am considering installing a keel guard on my 230 LXI. My main concern is that it might affect the appearance of the boat. The lines of the hull are one of the main things that attracted me to Larson boats in the first place. Grand Lake has rocky shorelines, almost no sand, just small rocks which will really chew up the keel of a heavy boat like the LXI.

Has anybody installed a keel guard and how does it look? Are you happy with it and does it perform as expected?

Appreciate any feedback on this topic.

I have a white one on my SEI 180 and don't find that it takes away from the appearance or lines of the boat whatsoever. It blends in with the white hull so well that you will forget it is there.

Did you get Keel Guard? Which color? I got 2 samples from them, almond and sand but the sand is pretty brown so I'm thinking the almond will be a better color match. Thanks for the info, I'm very glad to hear you are pleased. Did you take the keel guard all the way to the top of the deck or stop below the eye ring?
