Anyone installed this or know whether it's worth the money or not?

For beaching it's worth it.. had one on a 18 foot bowrider. It came on it when we bought it. I almost peeled it off but I was afraid what was underneath.!
I can say it wasn't long enough or they had it set to high. I didn't like the way it looked above the waterline at rest.
Now I just anchor and back up with a shore spike.

It's butt ugly and won't be on my boat. I'll just fix the scratches.

Yea I've seen lots of pics and I wonder why they start it up so high if it's for protection from beaching. Maybe to protect it from scratches on the trailer as well? Hmmmmm

If you like ducktape on your car doors, then this might be a product for your boat.

I was just inquiring about it, I never said I was going to put that on my boat. The concept makes sense but you pay the price by having a big maxipad on the front of your boat!! LMAO

No Rulz you should change your name to 1 rule: (No Keel guard).
Cmatt gets it - anchor/shore spike.
