Powell is wonderful houseboat country. Fuel last month was about
$2.50-$2.60 on the lake and is available at about 50 mile intervals.
Campng is easy, especally now. The lake is less than half full and
many sandy beaches area available. This low level makes the upper
lake hard to use. Bullfrog and Hall's crossing are still available
but Hite has closed the ramp. From Wahweap, Dangling Rope marina is
about 35 miles. Within the range of that marina are numerousl
beautiful canyons and sites to behold. Check out
http://www.wayneswords.com/ for more info on the lake and fishing
tips.
Good luck and have fun.

Are they necessary?

easily installed?

I beach my boat for camping (lake powell in Arizona on sandy beaches
mostly) and wonder if I shod install one.

21 foot Cobalt

No answer on the keel guard. But question on Lake Powell. Thought of
renting a houseboat as I also have a 21' boat. How easy is the camping
availability and is fuel a problem with a 100 mile range?
