Most synthetic cutting boards are made of high density polyethylene. The material is extremely durable, slick, wont mar the boats hull, and can be purchased inexpensively at places such as Walmart. They have been a favorite source of mine for protection and friction pad material on many trailers I've had throughout the years. I've found them in a variety of thicknesses. The material can be cut and the edges routed with wood working tools.

If you don't need a lot, its usually cheaper to source a couple of inexpensive cutting boards locally than ordering the material.
