I have rollers, so can't personally attest to the plastic strips (nylon I think).. But I told my neighbor about them, he ordered some from eBay, and put them on his bunks and that was 3 years ago. Loves them. Says they cut down the launch effort by more than half.. He has a painted alum hull 17' bass boat, and Really, I don't see any scratches in his paint.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
