As far as the Bow stop vs roller I would definitely go to a bow stop. It makes loading the boat easier plus the benefits of not scuffing.

Dump the roller altogether. The best you can can do is switch to the split Bow Stops.

I changed mine from the roller type, it always marked the bow, I bought the rubber blocks from myco they were about $40 each and made my own bow stop.[ATTACH=CONFIG]554242[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554243[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554244[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554245[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554246[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554247[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554248[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554249[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554250[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]554251[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]554280[/ATTACH]Sorry here's the finished product, can only post 10 pics at a time, I made it adjustable and kept it on the gelcoat and not on the painted sides.[ATTACH=CONFIG]554279[/ATTACH]

That's a lot more boat than mine! Looks nice, I like the yellow & white
. My concern is that as I winch my boat up the last few inches it comes upward and forward to support the weight of the bow a bit. With that set-up it would be trying to slide against the rubber blocks. Did I mention I like the yellow and white? (in the one pic it looks like the outboards are on it!)
