Yep, I plan to make more modifications to the trailer - it's an old beater that came with the boat... while working on the boat this summer I stripped the trailer hardware down, stripped the rust, repainted, and replaced all the bunks and rollers... then when I put the boat back up the other day we noticed the possibility of the fenders rubbing. I think it may be less of an issue when the boat is floated on, but eventually (once I've gotten a few weeks of kicks on the boat out of my system before summer ends here) I'll raise the bunks and rollers (need longer brackets).

Until then I'm just desperate to get back on the water - it's been 10 months since she's touched it (our 2 month restoration turned into much longer when we shifted work to restoring an old house we bought). So for now, I just wanna pad the fenders with something that'll prevent any major ugliness to the freshly repaired and painted hull.
