I have a 15 ft. Carolina Skiff I use as my small water / river boat. This one is a lot heavier then the Alumacraft Waterfowler it replaced. It came on a bunk trailer and was very tough to launch and load without floating it on. I got two sets of the plastic skids you speak of and was amazed at the difference it made. They are almost too slick so I put carpet covered wood strips on the front 2-3 feet of the bunks. The wood strips also took up the space the plastic created so the fiberglass hull rests evenly on the bunks. The only issue I can warn you about is push lightly the first time you launch so your boat doesn't rocket off the trailer. I speak from experience here!
