Default Unlubberizing the Single Screw, Part III

"Chuck Gould" wrote in
oups.com:

The problem with using a rubber surface is that it would need to cover
most of the side of the boat to be effective in every conceivable
situation.



Why not? We can cover the whole side of the boat from 6" over the
waterline to the gunwale, like we're doing to the cars. A secondary
benefit of that is far less gelcoat to turn chalky that has to be polished
off. Make the whole side above the waterline one big padded bumper that
never needs to be tied off to the handrail or falls overboard when trying
to retrieve it as you pull away from the dock.

I don't think it would make the fender manufacturers too happy. But, then
again, THEY have the technology and materials to make the padded hull!
