[QUOTE="Brine, post: 192435, member: 1053"] I wouldn't. At least not yet. Not because of the steelflex, but because of the riveted hull. Just asking for problems IMO. Most of the slicks I've seen have a warning on them about not using them with a riveted hull and given the layout of those you pictured, I can see why. If you have a set of rivets that will be bumping the edge of each slick, I would think it could eventually damage/loosen the rivet. The steelflex should make the boat trailer just fine without needing the slicks. If I'm wrong, just take the slicks with you one day while you're at the lake and put them on. I would wait till you realize you need them though. [/QUOTE]
