Hey guys! I had a few touch up done on my boat 3 or 4 years ago, including front of the bow wearing in and out the v pas up front the trailer. Not sure what was the original paint but it wears out again much faster than the previous paint and it drives me nuts!

I attached fleece car wash mitts on my bow stops no more problems. I had a wrap on mine above the bow stops so being careful with trailer depth while loading and unloading kept mine off of the upper hull area where yours is really scratched. 32' Fountain Fever/ Myco.

Get rid of that wood bunk in the bow stop. You want something that gives.

And them cover them with large wash mitts or something soft.

Never ran the boat on the stop once I painted mine. Chain choker running back to a secure point than crank it forward until all is tight But a low bow stop like almost under the bottom strake is needed on a aluminum trailer to stop the flex and bouncing
