It is 1-1/2" wide, $39.99 for 20', and I have the Gator Guides for your sled deck

my concern is will a fiber glass hull be able to handle it withoutleaving impressions or ridge lines or even stress cracking the gel coat?
Are the new trailers for fiber glass boats using this?
Would they be recommended by any of the fiber glass boat manufactures?

Anybody here using it on an fiber glass boat ?

I'm going with the same questions as Iron Horse.

First not bashing your product at all, it probably works great in it's designed application, (which is?). IMHO, using on aluminum hulls is preferred, and I can't see how it would damage the hull.
But on a fibreglass / gelcoat bottom, there are going to be scuff marks. A small nick in your glide will definitely scratch the gelcoat.
Since my boat sits on a Shorelandr trailer, I called the manufacturer in IOWA, and they do not recommend this type of product with a fibreglass boat.
Might be a good product, just not the answer for all applications.

You are right, there are no products that are the best for all applications
