Hey, Mitch.

You can use the Tie Down Bunk Slicks part # TD59FR with a fiberglass Ranger Boat. One thing to keep in mind is the slicks are made of a PVC and PVC is more ridged. Over time you will see some friction marks or scuffs. Just something to keep in mind.

These slicks will make getting your boat on and off the trailer a lot easier.
