I have a Tiger and spend a lot of time with the boat on trax around concrete. I've tried several things to protect the sterns from hitting the hard stuff but everything I've tried had issues. I saw someone at an event with the old style ski belt strapped to the back end. Neat idea but where do you find something the Coast Guard does not approve of?? Overton's has these in their catelog. Attached is the link to the one's I got. The XL fit the Tiger perfectly and do not slide or roll up the hull. For about $40 delievered to the door (plain brown wrapper) it is worth it. Thanks to whomever it was for the inspiration! :D

Yes I have a wet suit that is now 22 years old. It came from Overtons. I'm looking at a new wet suit from there as a replacement this spring.

I looked at drysuits but big $$ for a good one.
