Yeh, that's cool. I have three so-called runners under my boat. One on each side and one down the middle and they are none other than the roll of car/automotive sticky trim you can buy at any automotive store. It works wonders and of course is water proof. It also protects the bottom skin of the boat pretty well. They help keep the boat straight and yet allow it to slide in the turns. I'm happy with the idea. I plan on building a 72" as well pretty soon and I am doing a lot of research first. I don't need any hiccups while building it. I may go with 3/16" plywood from Home Depot but I will make sure I have all my bases covered first. Then I may use the sticky trim again if I don't build some tiny aluminum ribs under the hull. Thanks.
