I disagree with this only because when I had teflon strips on my previous 2x4s, the teflon wore down and the #8 rounded phillips heads stainless screws that were counter sunk rubbed 3 different holes in my boat. So far so good on the lags, it's a light boat. My only concern has been corrosion with dissimilar metals (stainless lags to galvanized trailer).
