My hobie is getting some marks on the bottom were it has been drug across the beach. There not down to the fiberglass yet but i don't wont them to get that far. How do I fix them? I have beach weels now so it shouldn"t be a problem so should i even bother with it? Thanks for the help.

Most of our fleet use 1 1/2" or 2" pvc pipe and make various sizes of skids to move the boat around on, I have 2 each that are 2' X 4' the boat will glide over these very nicely. You will want to dirll some holes in each corner so they can fill up with water and not float off into the sun set.

I'd fill them with Marine-Tex (white) or Formula 27 (grey). F27 is much easier to sand. Now that you have beach wheels may as well have a smooth bottom to go with
