What about some roller guides or something to support the boat other than the rub rail under the "V". Do you think I will have to cut the cross member that the "V" sits on now? I have been thinking about how to get the boat off the trailer enough to put some glass under there, Im not sure about what to support it with or how big the make the pads, or where to place them. Obviously I could use some of your guys's expertise with this.
We went out on the 4th and I did back down further on the ramp to try not drag the "V" across the rub rail, but I almost had an F-150 in the drink due to the moss on the ramp. As far as the rubbing it worked, but it was touchy getting out.

To me everything looks fine except here:
Putting a roller at this location should stop the damage, now how you do it is a different animal. Being you got an aluminum trailer, it would be prudent to continue the theme. Most likely in order to support the bow without redoing the whole trailer you may need some help from someone that can fabricate a bracket in order to bolt it to the beam near that location. A 12" roller with 5/8" rod should work (if you have the room) bolted to the rear or front of the problem area and leaving the centering posts. Being you got tandem, you should be able to pull the boat back (with the truck attached) by tieing to a tree or pushing with a strong back (son in laws), just far enough to clear the work area. If the weight is balanced or heavy on the tongue you can disconnect it or support the transom in order to disconnect from the truck to perform repairs.

I'm lookin for the thread with that picture and can't find it.
Can't see the roller in the picture of his that you posted. But it don't look like I'm describing. I like the lack of rollers on the trailer except at the bow contact with the trailer.

Sell that trailer and look for a good roller trailer.
I love my rollers and my friends do to. They like the way I can power load and then they only have to crank about a foot of cable.
