It depends on the size of the boat. I used some that were similar years ago
and they kept the 2 28' boats from scratching each other but on big rollers
going by, you could hear the boats hitting right through those fenders.
I'd suggest bigger if the boat is over 21' . Just my opinion.

I have been using these on my 26' Ultra Deck and have found them to work great.

They work better on a deck/cat than on a V. I dont use them myself, but a few people I know swear by them.

We got some for the jetskis so we could tie them to the stern of the Cheetah, they worked well for that. They weren't the right configuration to use on the sides of the small tunnel bottom type boat.

It's also nice to have a Ring Buoy around for them to use as a donut the next day after you wear them out :D

Danny Badblown was the first to use those and of course everyone gave him crap about it.
We went out & they worked excellent so we ordered a set from Overtons.
When we sell our boats they are the only things we keep.
They are teriffic.

We use them on the 22' Sport Cat, and they work great. Best thing since canned beer.

Yep,
I use them, 21' Schiada. I have no cleats so I tie them to the dock sometimes and they work well in that app. I have numerous types of fenders but these are my favorites.

I'm a bit free board challenged.
They work great on my 18SS jet. I haven't found any others that come close.

I would think they would snag and get torn up but maybe not?
I am in the market to re-new ours so I will grab my overtons catalog and look them up.
