What About the Blunt Front?

Simply put, the Blunt Front is the successor to the V Front. Designed and manufactured for those who are as obsessed with their boats as we are. The Blunt Front is the pinacle of boat haul protection and the Crème de la crème of boat trailer rock guards. Offering:

  • Adjustable side posts with 15 degrees of movement

  • Side post brackets to all fit 3” - 5” trailers (6”-8” upgrade available)

  • Button up Front to fully protect both the trailer and boat from all types and sizes of debris

The Blunt Front’s key feature is the button up front to eliminate any gap in your boats protection system. With traditional rock guards, this gap overtime can leave your bow snadblasted and faded. RockGARD’s Blunt Front design eliminates this issue while simultaneously protecting more of your boats trailer.
