Re: boat fenders

I guess it depends on the size and style you are looking for.
Anywhere from $10, to $85.

Search the net.

Re: boat fenders

Fenders like any other product, You Get What You Pay For. When I first got my 27', I bought new fenders. They didn't last a week. I found two from a yard sale, found one floating, and a friend had an odd ball one that matched the other ones. I've been using them for 5 years now. They ain't pretty, but they do the job.

Spending 200 to 300 is a lot better than having to repair scratches on your boat or somebodys boat.

Re: boat fenders

I trailer an aluminum boat, so I don't have much need for fenders. But what I have, I've found floating or washed up. Usually when I pull in among glass boats, they put the fenders out. :)
