Default Unlubberizing the Single Screw, Part III

Now that you're safely at the dock


I always wondered why, if they're going to continue to make it out of this
cheap plastic crap that's as easy to destroy as an eggshell....why can't
they put a big, WIDE rubber bumper, built right into the hull like the cars
have, that you can bang against the nails sticking out of the
dock...without destroying a $900,000 boat....or even a $32,000 boat....or
even a $20,000 boat! The strip should be easily replaceable, built into
its groove it slides right out of after taking off the end cap.

Isn't the price high enough to include an all-around rubber bumper and the
hull reinforcing to support it? They don't have to put wheels and a
suspension system on it like a car, so there should be plenty of profit
left over for the strip, especially at these prices.

Why should you have to hang the equivalent of an old tire over the side to
keep the eggshell hull away from the dock? How stupid.
