Default Dumb question about a small trailer repair..

Hi. I just got a little Jon Boat that's really great. But the trailer
looks like it came out of a junkyard. So I'm replacing a lot of parts
on it.
It has the two, carpeted wooden slats on it. However, the brackets
that
hold them onto the trailer are rusted off completely. I initially
thought of just replacing these brackets. But then I ran across thesehttp://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/10001/-1/...
""glide slicks"". They seem cheap, and would be much easier to replace
than to try and get the remainder of these rusted brackets off. Like
I said, it's a
really small, light boat. All aluminum. So it doesn't need much,
trailer wise. But there's not much holding it onto the trailer. It
just
sits on a couple of rollers. I am looking for more information on
brackets.

Thanks,
Corry

Also, they're called "Glyde Sticks".
