Boat Buddy II Bow Stop...anyone using one of these?

[Prospersigman]

My front roller on my 2016 trailer seems to be leaving some small scratches in the gelcoat on my keel so I was looking at replacing the front roller and ran across this?

Anyone using one of these or have another recommendation?

On our 2006 I couldn't get rid of the thing fast enough to replace it with a roller!

The people that swear by them (not me) generally use the same ramp all the time. If you have it set right and drive on the trailer it can be great if you can get your trailer in deep enough to drive all the way to the bow stop. Otherwise it will be a source of frustration from what I understand.

first one on the supra was a pos. bought another one and it worked ok. not having had it on the current trailer for 5 years, I would not go back.

I had a ramp n clamp on my last boat and loved it. I need to get one for the new boat. I forgot about it. It's a lot better than the boat buddy. IMO

I had one on my 2002 Supra. It worked well for what it was designed for but if you are trailering often, it will "rub" the gelcoat.

Have one on my 2009 OBV and had one on my 2003 OB.

I love it

Driver doesn't even have to get out of the truck to see if boat is hooked on.

You DO have to remember to unhook the thing before zooming down the ramp and hitting the brakes. I've forgotten a couple times and that becomes a pain in the ass
