I agree with you! I have run aground, protected props no damage except for my pride!

Well said sir but I’m gonna do one better than that I’m gonna run aground with you 😂

Could you list a few models of boats that have "keel protected" props? Thanks, for the video!

[@ThomasKuhar]

Trawlers, like Monk, Grand Banks, CHB, and some "picnic" style like Legacy, Hinkley. Also lobster style....

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

Pretty much anything N/A and top speed of 9 knots.

Most single engine "lobster" style boats have a fully protected prop and rudder with a full keel. The prop shaft eminates from the back of the keel. Many of those boats can also cruise in the mid to high teens. My Albin 32+2 Command Bridge is such a boat. Comfortable cruise 16 knots at 2500 RPM, about 75% power. In one hour, I can cover twice the miles an 8 knot boat can. Wanna go slow and sightsee, just pull the throttle back and go slow. Yes, I have a larger diesel engine with a turbo. It will cost a little more to repair, but religious maintenance will mitigate that. I like the options...😊. And yes, everyone runs aground eventually...hahaha! Think of it as a "boat tax."

Hello Captain Paul!! I am looking at a steel hull trawler with normally apirated diesels and would like to discuss the boat with you.

[@NoRegretsLifestyle]

You can call me Steel is not my specialty but I have been on a few 702 885-7579
