Thomas,
In my opinion it is more important to get a consistent width strip than to worry about how much material you loose to the saw kerf. A uniform width will result in better quality beads and coves when you go to mill the strips. This in turn will give you tighter joints on the boat. A little more saw dust is worth avoiding the potential hassles later.
I used a 7” thin kerf circular saw blade in my table saw and got excellent results.
