I just tried my new Gatorbak's out after replacing my 3 year old ones, Kind a disappointed, I replaced the ones i had because the boat would not slide on and still had to crank it up, was assured the new formula would be a world of difference and loading would be a piece of cake, well I backed trailer in and wet all bunks just had enough of the trailer bunks sticking out to keep the boat from sliding off the bunks and still i had to really hammer down to get the boat to slide any and then I still had to winch it the rest of the way up, never had a problem at all when I had carpet on the bunks, don't know what I could be doing wrong that would cause it but I can say I don't see any difference in the 3 year old ones and the new ones.
