www.keeleazy.com/  Getting a sample of their product to test.


Anything to report?
Ive used keel easy  on my T13 and Jackson Cuda. I myself though it was very easy to apply. Ive had it on for about 4 months now with no problems. I don't think you'll notice any type of drag so to speak. Its a very smooth and tough product that definitely protects the bottom of your yak.
It is a little pricey but I think its worth the money for the protection that you get.
I'm very happy with it.

Thanks,
Tim

http://www.eplastics.com/Slick_Strips

In particular:

http://www.eplastics.com/Plastic/Slick_Strips/SLICKSTRIP0-030X3-000X50FT

Wide enough to protect the keel, and at $1.70/ft in a 50' roll is cheap enough to do 3-4 kayaks.

They also have 12" wide for $8.20/ft.  Cut it in half lengthwise and you can do a 13' Revo with a 6" strip for about $57.  Not a bad price for a $1500 boat (minus the mirage drive).  (Can you buy just a Revo hull?)

I have been using strips cut from coolant/antifreeze bottles and byutle adhesive for years. I cut them to shape then heat the strips till malleable place and form them on kayak (use gloves) when cool remove and place glue strips on hull, mash them together. Mine generally last a season and it is a cheap DURABLE solution...

What is a "coolant bottle"?  Anti-freeze?

Just finished applying KeelEazy to the Revo.  This is more difficult than working on a fiberglass kayak due to the short radii at the bow and stern.  But once you have cut your pattern it is very easy to install with the heat gun.  We'll see how it holds up.

Just wondering how this is working out?  My boat already has a bunch of dings in it; you think this still adhere pretty well?

You could probably use a heat gun or a hair dryer to smooth any scratches or dings you have. Although I think they just build character :)
