No but seriously I met up with @DBamaC and his great family today while out on Mitchell. First off hanks for all the hospitality guys and it was great meeting your family and "foster child"! As we were tying up our boats together he whipped out this kids bouncy ball thing, blew it up and it did better than any of our fenders! I had looked into those inflatable balls made for boats but they are pricey and this ball did just the trick. We even got a few boats coming by with wake and it held fine, no explosion or boom :D!

If anyone is looking for a cheap way to tie up boat and keep them from bashing into each other, this is a good way to go....... if you don't mind pink :D.

Isn't pink the new white? :D
 
It's a reddish pink....or really more of a pinkish red. More importantly it was <$12 and worked like a champ keeping our towers from bumping when the wave came. I'm really surprised he didn't mention the little animal face on it. :rolleyes:
 
Whatever works. No shame in that.
 
that could have been useful when me and @Bill D were tied up earlier in the season...

Well I thought the Pokemon GO would be enough reference it had a face on it :p. It indeed worked like a champ. :winkingthumbsup"
 
There it is! I was thinking if it was real rough you or if two boats had racks you could tie one up on the tower too.
