Just remember that the protection normally has a price of at least 12" of keel. I have a single which drafts 4'8" and a larger twin which draws 3'6".
I don't buy the better protection bit either as it varies from boat to boat. Hatteras generally is well protected and on the same boat singles have greater draft so that creates a disadvantage.
