I do not know what brand of trailer you have but I had a Pacific trailer for my 26' Billfisher. I had Pacific install star board type, I think it was more telfon, material and it worked like a charm. The boat never moved, I had no tie downs other than the bow strap. I towed it twice to Mag Bay. It sure made launching and retrieving a breeze for my wife and I. I would sure call them. They are in Chino.
