Now if you've got tides to deal with, and the whips are mounted on your bulkhead, the whips do very little, or nothing, at high tide, and are worthless during a storm surge. If you mount them to a float they should be OK for a light boat, but then you may have a problem with sticking out too far. Myself, I think their worthless, I would never use them. I've seen many a boat on whips get beaten up in bad weather. On my cannal their popular, with people new to boating, most of the guy's that have had them before got rid of them long ago. And then their's the problem of getting off and on the boat. John |
