RodHolder Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Guys, Could someone please explain what are boat skids. my understanding is that, its a couple of blocks wrapped in fabric placed either side of the hull of a boat , so it can be lifted with a hoist,crane etc so as not to damage the hull? Can someone clarify pls? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemmm Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Some trailers have skids some have rollers. The skids are simply timbers running lengthways up the trailer that are covered with fabric,vinyl or rubber. When pulling the boat up the hull "skids" along. The skids offer support over a greater area than can be attained with a series of rollers. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
