For all of you with lifted trucks that either don't have mud flaps or have small ones, what do you use to keep the rocks from chipping the front of your boat? I have seen a few products that you bolt on to your receiver hitch. I'm just curious what some of the board members do. On short trips I don't mind but I'm going to the SCOPE run this weekend and I don't want to chip the hell out of my boat. My truck is a F350 with a 8" lift on 37" tires.

I've got a screen that wraps all the way around the trailer and keeps rocks from pelting the sponsons. It's a pretty cool setup, made from a bimini/bow rail kind of aluminum tube and then with a heavy duty screen that zippers around it. ;)

Mud terrain tires are the best becuse they don't pickup stuff like pebbles so easy. I still have removeable flaps for when i'm towing though

Just buy a bigger boat, so any rocks hit below the waterline.
I am a problem solver.
:D
