AMERICAS FAVORITE FISHERMAN, JIMMY HOUSTON HAS BEEN USING AND PROMOTING HAMBY'S PROTECTOR SINCE 1989

The Hamby's Protector is the greatest invention for boats since seats with back rests! Beach your boat anywhere from solid concrete to broken rock with no damage to your boat or the Protector.

Hamby's Protector, the Beaching Bumper is the best product of its type on the market today. The first time I decided to install a keel protector on my boat I was directed toward Hamby's product by a Boat Fiberglass Repair Company. They told me that I would be happier long term with the Hamby product and that it was the best at providing the protection for my boat. I now pull up on cement ramps in my $50,000 Team Stratos Boat to pick up and let off my partners. I am not worried about keel damage because I have the Hamby. I don't worry when I pull up & beach my boat. I don't worry about the Hamby coming off, because they are installed to give you a life time of protection. I would not have a boat without protecting the keel area and would not have anything other than Hamby's Protection. This unit is truly a Beaching Bumper for Boats!!!

"When I’m fishing in FLW and BASS Tour events I’m traveling all over the country. During practice I prefer to launch near where I want to fish so that I save time and gas money by not running all over the lake. The only problem is that I end up launching at some marginal ramps without docks. But regardless of where I launch the boat my Hamby’s Protector always makes it easy to launch and load the boat by myself. It keeps my Team Yamaha boat looking great from the day I pick it up at the Ranger factory to the day that I sell it. Thanks Roger !!!"

"Being on the road as a full-time touring Pro on the FLW Tour I spend a lot of time in my Stratos Boat. Just about every time that I launch or weigh-in it is more convenient for me to beach my boat rather than tie up to a crowded dock. That's why I consider my Hamby's to be one of the most important items on my boat. Just like my depthfinders and trolling motor, my Hamby's is a tool that allows me to be more efficient."
Thanks For Everything,

"If you are spending hard earned money on your boat, protect your investment with a Hamby's. I do and it pays. With a Hamby's, I can always get closer to the boat ramp to pick up my partner in the morning with out scratching the boat. Thanks again for your help this year."

"Thank you Roger I love it and will never have another boat without one."

"With my Hamby's Protector I never have to worry about whether there are enough boat slips for weigh in. I don’t have any problem beaching my boat, whether on gravel or brush. I know my keel will be protected by the Hamby's Protector. I try to buy a new bass boat each year. When I go to sell my boat, the potential buyer always asks me if the boat has a Hamby's on it. It definitely increases the resale value of each boat. With the protection of the keel and added resale value why wouldn’t you add a Hamby's Protector to your boat?
Thanks for a Great Product,"

"Feel free to post my comments regarding the durability and genuine "toughness" of a Hamby's . . . I don't have any problem at all endorsing a superior product that lives up to, in fact surpasses it's claims. . . Recently I was about to drop my partner off at the ramp to get the truck & trailer so we could load out. The dock was crowded with a bunch of small sailboats being operated by the local Sea Scout troop so I was unable to pull up to it to let my partner off the boat. I decided to ease up on the rough concrete ramp next to a bassboat that was also loading out. Since my hull is black and so is the Hamby's, he could not see that I had one on. You can imagine the look on his face when I put the boat on the ramp as his eyes got about 3 times larger than normal. I just looked over at him and said, "Hamby's". His reply was a envious "Oh". and then "How much?"

Loves the extra value on the resale of his boats.

" I fish about 150 days a year. Almost everyday I have to beach my boat for some reason. I have installed a Hamby's Protector Beaching Bumper on all four of the Ranger boats that I have owned. Every year I sell my boat to get a new one. Every buyer asks if I have a Hamby's on my boat. There is no doubt having a Hamby's on my boat increases its value. I will not run another boat without having a color matched Hamby's Protector Beaching Bumper."

To whom it may conern,
My name is Barry Camilleri in Mobile,Al. I have a Blazer 202ProV in which I installed a Hamby's Protector on the keel of my boat. I was in an accident on 3/31/05 in which I was pulling my boat. I totaled my truck, my boat was shoved 4 feet up my trailer and rested on the tailgate. My motor toter was shattered, the transon straps were ripped in half, the winch strap and safety strap was also ripped in half, the winch support and winch were twisted to h--- and back. If it were not for the Hamby's Protector the keel of my boat would have been ripped, but there was not even a scratch.. Thanks for a great product. I would highly recommend it for any boat.

Thank You,

It was very nice to meet you at the Championship in Hot Springs and I appreciate the opportunity to endorse a product I believe in and use. As we discussed, I will be ordering a new boat for the 2006 season and would like to have a new protector to install on it when it arrives. I am sending you some pictures of me with my Hamby's Protector that you can use on your website.
