I believe these are designed for beachable power boats.

Is that correct in your experience?

Well, I just epoxied three overlapping strips of FG cloth to the
dinged center strake of my Zodiac RIB, and that cost me about $20 and
90 minutes work over two days.

This spring, I will paint a barrier coat over the bottom and then
apply antifouling as zebra mussels have started.

This Keel Shield seems excessive and a little ugly. When I am finished
with it, my "retrofit" will look as if it was there originally.
