I know Gatorbak is not suppose to scratch a boat but its killing mine. This is a brand new boat and I have launched it maybe 5 or 6 times with the gatorbak bunks. The water I have launched it in has been fairly clear so I don't think there is a lot of sand or anything. Can someone please help me as to what is going on? I also make sure I wet all of the bunks by backing down then pulling forward and also do not power load it.
Wow! I have them on my boat lift for 2 years now and not a scratch.
I'm not sure what is going on. Didn't have a scratch until I put these on. I am at a total loss of what is happening.
The first pics were my front bunk boards. These pics are of my rear bunk boards. Anytime my boat is loaded these ones here are always under water. The boat is not scratched as bad here but its still scratching it even under water.
Did you try a wax or scratch remover on them some guys say it is actually plastic from the gatorbak itself. Try it see what happens.
I was thinking of trying the Gatorbaks, not any more! That looks horrible, I would be sick to my stomach.
No its not the gatorbak rubbing off on the boat because you can take your fingernail and feel the indentation(scratch)
Are you sure that it's actually scratches and not just rubber/plastic from the Gatorbaks? I too was considering adding them to my trailer...if those are really scratches i think I'll just stick with carpet.

Before anyone jumps to conclusions I am not blaming gatorbak. I really don't know what is going on and need to figure that out first.
Just got off the phone with Gatorbak and they are coming tomorrow to take a look at what is going on. I can honestly say I have never had customer service this good. Hopefully we can figure out what is going on.
I put them on my trailer and my boat also has a black hull..i had no scratches on my hull before installing them..within two months of them being on there i started seeing scratches exactly like your pictures show..i yanked them off and went back to carpeted bunks..to each their own but no more Gatorbak for me..plus i also fully dunked the trailer to get them wet before loading every time..Originally Posted by llsdjv

Send me one of those. I'd like to cut it in half and cover the first 3 feet of my main bunks where the carpet keeps ripping.
Trashed them a while back or would sure do it..

Now I'm calling bs on this.
Kind of looks like there was sand or dirt trapped in the bunks?
Caring for your new bunks is easy.
Gatorbak Bunks are made with UV and anti fungal protective compounds and will resist the elements well. Each
time you get ready to load or unload your boat check the bunks to ensure dirt, sand, and debris do not collect on
the bunks. Rinse these away or clean with a light detergent as needed. The bunks will allow these to drain away
with normal use. Long range trailering, outdoor storage, and other factors like these between loading/unloading
cycles can allow build up
So we all know..clarify what you are calling "BS" on? is it the whole thread or just part of the comments or what?

When asked if someone could have them he said he got rid of them. Then he said gator bak was coming out to look. You would think he would of left them on the trailer.
You're talking about 2 different guys.
