Is there anything that doesnt look like...gator? I want like a clear, but very resistant material that wont fade or turn yellow!

supposedly the keelshield won't . I used the off brand, and it yellowed after about a week.

While the keelshield will protect against scratch's, will it protect against dings/dents? <BR> <BR>Love the gator.... <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/349992.jpg" alt="Upload">

I had a surfboard slip and slam into my transom protected by my knock off "Transon Sheild" all it did was live a tiny scratch in the sheild itself, no damage to the boat. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/350002.jpg" alt="Upload">

this pic shows the yellow of my knock off, I'm going ot replace it with the expensive one.....eventually. Mine looks liek crap, but works.

I used to have this little plastic-ish strip that screwed into my swimstep that you could wedge an edge of the board under. I liked it because it was super clean, no sticky adhesive to add to the gelcoat and no stickers with borders that give you trouble when you wax around them. <BR> <BR>It seems like most people prefer to stick some gator grip on there or the like, but I feel it makes the boat look tacky and not clean. <BR> <BR>Speaking of that cool strip thing, does anyone know if they make that anymore? I sold my boat and my new boat doesn't have one....I think it was made by a company that makes binding bolts too? <BR> <BR>Danny

I use Armour Fend on mine. Clear will not yellow strong they use it on Formula one cars. machine cut prior to installation so no sharp knives near gel cote. <a href="http://www.armourfend.com" target="_blank">www.armourfend.com</a>
