Default carpeted bunks and blisters

Took the boat off the trailer to paint the trailer and found some blisters where the bunks touch the boat. Must be from the carpet holding the moisture. I ground out the ones bigger than a quarter inch. what would be a good product to fill these back in with. I dont keep the boat in the water and I am putting plastic bunk covers on now. I was looking at marinetex can I use this alone or do I need to put something over it?

I'm reworking the bunks on my lift and have looked at the glides but worry about damage to the hull with such a hard piece .... I agree though on the wet carpet can cause issues ......m

have had no problem with the slides on the gelcoat and really pretty slippery , if either boats or jet skis are'nt strapped down they'll be off the trailer and sitting on the ramp ... way more slippery then carpet
