Boat fenders

[jeff kakaley]

Looking for ideas as to what fenders to use on my bankes crusader. Seems to be a ton of various fenders available so naturally with a decked over boat I'm confused as to what is the best choice to follow the contour of the gunnels. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Thanks
Jeff.

Just make sure the fenders are large enough around to account for the over hang of the deck over the hull sides.

I use standard fenders with my crusader. The boat floats high enough that the fender hang between water line and overhang.

We use polyform bouys (commonly know as polyballs) for fenders on all of our boats. When they aren't working as fenders, they double as anchor markers and rescue line floats.

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure about the hull contour being an issue for a standard fender. Found some fenders on eBay at a good price.
