Anybody using these?
Anybody care to laugh at the very idea of them?

It's so funny watching people try to use these things.

I can pull out and place a half-dozen fenders before they get the first
one sorted out.

Why do you need a half dozen fenders on a 28 foot boat? I think we can
all
have
a good laugh about that, Jere. :')



Kinda like this?

HOLY CRAP! Looks like a waterborne hearse or something.




Do you want to guess what kind of boat it is? Hint... JimC would love it!
The first time I saw it, I did a double, then tripple take. This is a really
protected marina, and this particular spot is probably the most protected
spot there. This guy must have spent a fortune on boat coverings. I don't
think I've seen it leave the slip in over two years, but I did see him
standing on it without the covers. He seemed confused about what to do, so
offering to help, I asked. He said, no he was fine, and he was thinking
about going for a sail. He put the boat away and I haven't seen him since.
