Bowshield at JBP

Anyone try one yet??

When I think durability, I don't think of 22 ga. (.030) thick stainless steel....I own a metal fab shop and would have hoped for something around 18 or 16 ga. maybe.

I get that it's a #7 or #8 mirror stainless, but I could bust these out all day for about $10-12 in a thicker material.....the 22 ga may offer you some protection but I believe tht something thicker would be better.
Kudos on the idea though! I think the product does have some merit....

We actually used the product and it worked great! I understand coming from a metal fab guy it may not seem like much but it did its job and looked great when we sold it 2 yrs later.

I get that it works and I’m sure you have had success with it. I didn’t mean any offense. Just stating I wish something in the bow like what would be a little more substantial. Keep up the good work. It’s a great idea.

When you start getting thicker than what bowsheild is you wont get it to move and contour easily against different shape hulls.
The point of this product is to protect from possible bow roller scratches.
This isn't an impact area unless you are powering the boat on a trailer at speed, lol
