[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 418835, member: 18154"] My hull has a bare bottom. I fish in salt water so it may have worsened the problem. I ended up with what looked like a little gouge. I wire brushed it out with a stainless steel brush and washed the bottom in baking soda and water. I also scrubbed the bunk carpet with baking soda and water. Then I put on the glide sticks. It isn't happening anymore (knock on wood) and it makes getting the boat on and off much easier. I believe some of the trailer companies now offer a protective plastic piece that runs the whole length of the bunk as an option. One thing I took notice of recently is it looks like the screws that holt the bunks to the trailer clips are corroding like mad and it is spreading to the clips. Im going to be replacing the bunks and that hardware soon. I need to start researching what Im going to use before I become one of those people you see on the highway with their boat on the blacktop.
