Anyone have issues with the carpeting on the trailer bunks wearing through? I have a 2018 195 HO Platinum and when I was washing it last time I noticed a bunch of scrapes on the underside of the hull. They lined up with the bunk. Next time I launched it I checked and sure enough on one side the carpet had worn completely through. The other side was almost gone. See pics. This boat is less than a year old and has under 50 hours on it; there's no way it should be wearing through already.

I emailed Scarab but have so far heard nothing. Complicating this, I'm moving up to the Puget Sound area. Anyone have a reputable and competent Scarab dealer in the Seattle/Tacoma area they recommend?

Thanks,
Jason

And that's only since your hull is white. Mine is black and you can see all the scuff marks in plain view
 
b.little@beneteau-group.com bretty is a customer service rep at scarab that i have been working with our 255 since our selling dealer will no longer service our boat since they are not a scarab dealer any more
 
Try getting the trailer a little deeper if possible. Just looks like wear from friction.
