keelGuard
Has anyone tried one of those KeelGuard's on their mac? The heavy rubber strip that sticks with 3M?
Ive been throwing the idea around as I like to beach my mac at one peticular local lake when I take the kiddos.

Re: normal cruise spd under power (15HP)
I originally had a 9.9 merc on mine. I could do about 7mph. Ballast in 3/4 throttle. Higher wind and current caused me a few issues in tight areas. Fuel consumption almost un noticeable. But so is my 60 at low rpms.
