This is probably heresy but I touched up the places where the trailer rollers had worn through the paint with spray paint. It's getting hard to find oil-based paint and I don't want to use latex and most boat paint is really meant for fiberglass. I wanted to take care of the spots so I got some industrial-quality enamel spray paint. It isn't an exact match for the ret of the paint but it looks a lot better than the worn spots and will protect the hull.
I also used it on the keel where the paint was scraped off on beaches. The keel has a steel strip running down it so spray paint seems more justifiable there.
I also added a roller to the new trailer near the front. This is beyond the bunkers and I was worried about the keel bouncing on the trailer and getting dented.
