Have we ever discussed how big the boat is and where we are tying it up?

The original message in the thread mentioned a 34 foot 19,000 pound
boat.

The line that is perfect for a 14' aluminum boat on a small lake is totally
inadequate for a 40' offshore boat in tidal water.

Off course.

I even have a couple heavy duty bungee cords for those times when the tide is
falling or rising and I want some kind of snubber, in addition to the regular
lines. They are also handy when you are rafting. Get the heaviest black rubber
ones you can find at a truck stop. Take off the hooks and attach snaps with a
shackle or ring.

This is dangerous and unseamanlike advice in my opinion. Learn to use
spring lines to compensate for rising and falling tides.

Just remember it
isn't really a line, just a snubber.

Absolutely.
