any ideas?

Well i got a little 9.5 ft basshound and have used it a lot this summer but i have noticed that the hull has started to wear away a little from it sliding on the tailgate when loading unloading. it is one of those light weight plastic jon boats. i tried rubberized spray paint but that wore off and apparently roll on bed liners do not stick to plastic very well. any other ideas out there?

 

Mabye try to put a thin rubber mat or something on the tailgate to prevent rubbing.

 

Carpet....maybe two wrapped 1x8's you could clip in somehow when needed?

I bought a Jet Ski trailer for my pond searcher.....

 

i been goin with the carpet over the tailgate but im leavin to go back to college in a week and i dont really wanna keep an old dirty carpet in the back of my truck all year and i really dont wanna deal with a trailer right now but it might be my best option. keep em comin!
