Obviously, @suke, you are not anal like some of us. :)

I started out as @Jaycav did--trying to hold the thing on there and marking where to scuff exactly. Fortunately, I figured out after two of us had a heckuva time doing that, it was not really needed with that much precision. I wound up just putting the thing on the ground and scuffing 'about that wide' on the hull. Then it goes on easily, as you say. But if you are trying to be exact with the scuffing, it is horrible.

that custom dash is legit! What did you feel was so hard for the keelguard? I've installed a couple and didn't think the one on my boat was that bad. Scuff up the area, peel back a starting point, use a creeper (in our case at the time we had a furniture dolly to lay on), and the tool to press it on. Bingo bango done in 20 mins.
Just tryin to get it lined up perfectly is a pain

Dude had it since Feb 8th. I’ve been told it’ll be ready next week for 5 weeks now.
