Seems like it's just four areas in contact with the hull per bar, each not more than one quarter of an inch by maybe three and a half inches? The TLCs have two pads per bar, each about eight by three inches. Just seems like a better distribution of pressure. So, no problems with stress cracks or risers? Oh, wait --- you've got a Valley boat! Never mind.
