re: Boat trailer carpet. How much do I need

I found an 8"x12' roll for $8
That'll leave me with a 2" gap at the bottom of the board which is what I was told was best.
I'm buying 5 rolls since the 12' rolls won't cover the 14' boards. I should be ok if I overlap the carpet on the boards closest to the front of the trailer where there's less friction. Then still have enough to cap the ends.
Damn, I hate doing math this early.

What am I missing? If you lay an 8" piece over the top of a 2x4, which is actually 3.5x1.5, it's gonna go almost all the way to the bottom. At best it'll leave you an inch uncovered on either side of the board. Another thing is why do you want the gap anyway? Cost?
