Fender size for my 24'

[mraz72]

I just ordered four 8.5" x 26" feders, it says they are good for 25-30 foot boats

looking at them they look HUGE

maybe I should have purchased the 6.5" x 22"

opinions?

Fairly sure my fenders are 6.5x22. Nothing wrong with having big fenders....its where you put them that challenges most people. Mine fit in the wet storage on the swim deck (4 of them creatively stuffed there).

I love my big fenders. Go big or you might regret. Gives me piece of mind I believe.

Good price for 4 of them here. I might buy another set lol.

I ordered 8.5 X 27 black fenders. They are big but it will keep the other boat away from mine. I have a 2017 ar240 I haven't really tried putting them in any underseat compartments for storage or the head unit. Right now they are in the floor storage.

Mine 4 fit great on the wall of the porty room/storage next to the hull

We got 6.5"x 23" fenders for our 24' - don't see why the bigger size would be bad in the least. More peace of mind for you!

I have a 240 and got these.

They are 8.8" x 26.8" and they work great for me.

The great thing I like about the 24' lines is the storage space. I have batteries and equipment taking up the back bench seats and inside the helm. But even with that, I have all of the Porta space and both bow spaces for storage. Also have the 2 aft storage spaces. Even with a full load of people, there are always plenty of space to put things. Haven't even ventured inside the ski locker yet lol.

We went smaller and ended up buying the larger ones. You will be glad to have them.

that's one of the issues Julian, these are HUGE fenders lol, they will take up a lot of space.

I am going to order four 6.5 x 22 and

sounds like we have a few that don't mind the larger fenders. It will protect better, and I guess that is what they are for, I guess I'll keep the large ones.

They weren't cheap though, price was around $250 for 4 and some line....

Look at the link I posted. 4 big ones for $59.99 at amazon. They fit perfectly next to each other on the wall of the porta potty room. But I do understand others use that room for other purposes.

Depends on what you're using them for. Just docking in a protected slip? Tieing up to boats with lots of wake? Like the posters mentioned above, we have lots of storage. A couple of big ones along with a couple of medium ones gives you options. And options are always good
