I will definitely cover my bunks with that plastic or teflon stuff, then load the boat and haul it somewhere for bottom cleaning and painting. If at the end of the season, I will do that job where the trailer is now (see the photos).
I read everyone's suggestions for painting a boat on a trailer and I like this best:
"blockin' it up off the trailer is the only way to get to the rest...I let the tongue all the way down, then blocked up the center of the stern...then raised the tongue, which lifts the stern after it bottoms out on the blocks...w/the tongue up, block up the bow, drop the tongue again and VOILA!...she's flyin'!!...stiff leg the sides...jack and block again as the axles go out from under and never had to tie it off at all...the trailer jack does the work"

Glad to be of help.
Just remember, even though these are only 20 foot boats they weigh over a ton and they have no conscious. They will crush you in a second. No matter how you wind up painting the bottom, BE CAREFUL and always make sure your boat is 110% secure before getting under it to paint. We want to be talking to you, not about you.
