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


Hmmm... I just went to the West Marine site and dug until I found the
"Glyde Sticks", but copying and pasting the address to this message
didn't work. Anyway, it appears to me that you still need to replace
those rusted brackets and the bunk boards, because the "Glyde Sticks"
attach to the bunk boards.
