My boat is covered in them all in cracked up plastic from years of sitting in the sun. Thinking about making some covering boards for the cockpit area and just taking them all off (filling tons of holes) but wonder if I am missing something. The rub rail sticks up about 1/4" outboard of them so there will still be a little bump there to tell your foot when its close to the edge.
The water runs down the side decks and drains over the side about a foot behind the back of the house so my covering boards would start there and run to the transom but be angled away from the side of the cabin to direct and water on the side decks over the side.
Main reason I want to do this is because it hurts your ass to sit on the gunwales in the cockpit and they are all cracked. Will need to paint my decks regardless so it seems like a good idea.
