My 1984 7' Fatty Knees has a molded in fiberglass skeg, that has worn down over the years (mostly before my ownership).
I'd been thinking of screwing a Starboard strip or a Glyde-Slik strip (

My current thoughts are as follows:
1)I've seen self-adhesive "bow protector strips" (like a soft version of a "grunch pad") in a Cabela's type catalog, although I can't find them now. I thought I could perhaps use one of those.
2)Epoxy on a sacrificial strip of pre-made fiberglass board (such as from McMaster Carr).
3) Just add layers of fiberglass, in sacrificial mode.
For #1 don't like self-adhesive factor.
For #2, I'm not sure whether the strip would stay on without mechanical fasteners, and I'm also not sure what happens when that stuff wears from abrasion; does it get "itchy" or fibrously disagreeable?
I'm not keen on a bronze strip for the reason Peter mentions - it just seems like it could be too rough on the mother-ship.
Maybe a strip of teak is best, after all!
