Scrubbing the crap out of them with Soft Scrub w/ bleach doesn't work, any other suggestions?

Treat them with Oxyclean solution and stay off your knees.

West Marine sells a liquid gel called Fiberglass Stain Remover. It has acid in it, so use rubber gloves. Wipe it on, let it sit a minute and rinse off thoroughly with water. It'll take the wax off, too, so you'll have to re-apply if it's a waxed area.

The other option is compound, but that's very labor intensive and difficult on non-skid.

If it is just a few try a MR Clean Magic Eraser. Those things do wonders!

Option 1. Build an enclosed shelter to put the boat
Option 2. Buy a cover to put on the boat
Option 3. Call Tom and let him take care of them.

The Al Gore internet is only large enough for one smart ass and I was here first. It is bad enough with everyone fishing my holes. Now they are taking over my oneliners.

Use Acetone with rag, wipe on wipe off. May have to scrub a little but will clean almost anything off your boat.

I use toilet bowl cleaner. It's cheap and takes off rust or any other stains you have. Just rinse well and throw a little wax on it and your good to go.
