ABSTRACT:
A watercraft hull having at least one removable protective wear strip. The watercraft hull includes at least one mounting groove extending along the longitudinal length of the watercraft hull along the lowermost portion of the hull. A wear strip is removably attached to each mounting groove such that when the watercraft hull is pulled from the water, the wear strip contacts the shore to prevent damage to the watercraft hull. A series of attachment devices is embedded in the watercraft hull along the mounting groove. A series of connectors passes through the wear strip to removably attach the wear strip to the mounting groove contained in the watercraft hull. When the wear strip becomes worn, the wear strip can be removed from the watercraft hull and replaced with a new wear strip.
