If your boat is NOT getting scratched, then you are not using it hard enough. It's the nature of the beast.
Here's my view on building my boats: I don't go out of my way to look them too "refined". The more you fuss over the finish, the more you'll fret over every ding and scrape. I like to think of my boats as "work" boats. Strong but not necessarily "lookers" in the sense that they're like a piece of fine furniture.
Besides, a good scrape or gouge usually has a good accompanying story.
Cheers,
Sean
