    I bought a pair of these boat fenders in forest green, and they are just perfect for use in my fishing boat. The price can't be beat for this quality. They look great and keep my new boat from rubbing on landing docks during launching and docking. I would certainly recommend them to others.

        You can spend more for fenders, but why? We moor at the lake where the water is calm and don't have a need or room for ginormous fenders in our slip. We keep an extra set on the boat for when we tie up with friends in open water and they work great!!
        Great pricing, color availibility and matching fender ropes, will make you the envy of all the fender connoisseurs at the lake!!!

            I have seen these being used on the lake and see how long they last including a set on a friends pontoon. When I upgraded from an open bow to a pontoon that I had used for a couple years I could see how much better these fenders would protect my investment so up graded to these in my color.
