[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 292726, member: 7544"] If all it were doing is sitting in one spot with no movement then it wouldn't matter if it were plain board, carpet, or anything else. And pressure really isn't an issue unless you have enough pressure in a small enough area to start deforming the metal (aka dents). The problem arises when the boat moves (and it attempts to move with every bump and vibration) and the amount of friction when it moves. The cutting boards as well as the carpet help reduce the friction and that is the whole point. If you do go with bare boards, I think the wear process will be so slow that you will have given up on checking for problems before any problems created by it will show up. In other words, by the time you notice a problem, it's gonna be too late. But, it's your boat so use what ever makes you happy. :D [/QUOTE]
