I tend to not trailer with my cushions in place. I had a bag made that holds all my boats cushions. it only takes a couple minutes to put them in place and I can choose which ones to put in if I dont feel the need for all of them. it also helps me store them for the winter and they stay a lot dryer not being in the boat all the time. I had a real problem getting them to dry out after a good rain. Not a problem any more.
