Goodboy Slippy Socks

These woven neoprene covers slide over the Vs offering yet another layer of protection for the foam pads, and the boat. The big benefit is they greatly reduce friction and make it way easier to slide up from the back. So, for the vertically challenged, this is your thing. It also gets rid of the loud screeching heard when sliding wet boats on the foam. Your neighbors will love them. Most people get just one pair for the rear. But, there is nothing wrong with doing front and back. They are sold in pairs of 2. So, one pair for each end of your rack. The Vbar will outlast these socks, but you should be able to get a few years out of them.
