    Keel Guards???

    Hey guys,
    Any of you used a keel guard on your RXP's?? Just curious as I beach mine a lot and the gel coat has almost worn down to the glass. Just wanted to know if it has any detrimental affects on the ski's performance.
    Thanx

    Haven't tried keel guard on our RXP, but have read that will affect handling and can scrub off some speed. I read about it a few years ago, so things may have improved (I don't know). We tend to only beach now and again - but do use anchor bags when we need to pull-up
