My previous boat, I ran the Bow Buddy and not one single rock chip after 8 years. The screen itself was still in great shape.
When I purchased a new boat, I tried the Rockguard. The product itself looked like good quality and offered good protection. But I could not get the guard to fit properly on the trailer. Spare tire and jack (welded) caused problems. Had dealer help out but eventually returned.
Went back to BowBuddy and it works great. It definitely covers anything my truck may spit out the back. After 2 years of usage, no marks/chips on the bow of the boat. I used the brace bar kit instead of the bungee cord, which makes it more stable. It was around $700ish.
