I was told by a dealer they were discontinued because they sucked. They weren't all that and a bag of chips. Lol.

I didn't say my rig could go through as much, if not more. I'm saying a 27 on the right hull. I would damn sure try though.

That 20 picked 225 pounds of me off the floor of the boat one time when it decided to dig and turn

i will quote this here again.... if you run swamps with stumps.... steelflex is a waste you your good hard earned money.... useless to you... offers no protection.... steelflex is a friction reducer for larger surface area contact situations..... high centered on a stump your still screwed

A 16x40 would be pretty good
