Some time ago I bought some stress relief mats from Home Depot, some roofing nails and some decent outdoor carpet to replace the non existent carpet on the '89 trailer. I had heard that wet carpet trapping moisture against the hull was a bad thing and I have always wanted some degree of give in the hull pads to spread the load a little better.

Why not use the stress relief mats on the pads too?

Duh! I thought that was a picture of the keel support before being installed back on the trailer. I didn't notice it was the same size and shape as the pads! Should have read the subject line a little closer too. As I said originally, duh!

A really good idea that I'll adopt in a month or so when I get ready to pull Andiamo out this winter.
