I have a 89 tuffy and I want to make it as easy as possible to launch my boat on and off the trailer. What are your experiences with bunk roller kits or the glyde sticks?

Thanks

If you truly want to launch the rig effortlessy, I suggest spraying the carpet down on the bunks next time you launch (wet is fine) with silicone lube spray. DO NOT unhook the boat until you are ready for it to literally fall off the trailer after treatment. Simple, inexpensive, and very effective.

how long or how many load-unloads is the lube spray good for?

I would do what Mr. Worrall says. i do not believe the glide sticks and roller bunks are recommended for fiberglass boats.

I retreat the carpeting on the bunks twice a year. lasts a long time.
