You can get them in a 26" diameter size and they are inflatable... so spend a few minutes blowing them up and I think they'd make for some great bumpers. Or atleast some additional protection. You can get them in black from Toys-r-us for about 10 bucks. I think I'm gonna grab a few. Probably this one in particular...I loved cars

easier on the graphics...deflatable...store easy...simple extra protection...10 bucks...grippable so you could beat your buddies when they take your beer...girls could bounce around when not in use

Seems win win to me

This is a bad joke right? I bet they would go great with that "custom black one of a kind Sundowner" for sale on Ebay.

Are you talking about when the girls are not in use or when the "bumpers" aren't in use? :twisted:

Ok, ok, in all seriousness - if they aren't intended to be used as boat fenders, I wouldn't trust them to protect your boat. I certainly wouldn't leave the boat unattended with those being the only things protecting it. Fenders take a LOT of stress & abuse, which is why they don't hold up for long unless they're pretty heavy and well-made.

Having said all that, Cars is one of the best movies ever IMO. But then I was a major Route 66 nut, years before that movie was made, so I'm a little biased.

I'm dead serious...I read about it over on wakeworld.com where quite a few ppl use them because most of those boats have vinyl wraps and these are easier on the wrap than hard plastic fenders.

I wouldnt use it as the only fender, but I am definetly getting a couple to throw in front of my graphics when tied up to other boats or a dock. Its only 10 bucks and the added protection is worth it to me.

Paradise, seriously, don't waste your money or time! I am not looking for an argument here, but these are not practical. They are a PIA to stow, and therefore you have to deflate and reinflate each time you want to use them, and they are not really not that rugged.

I have 2 of them that came with an "Ill Fated doggie ramp that I was idiotic enough to purchase, and they are real crap. They are now hanging in my shed in the yard, only because I hate to throw anything away. If you reallly want them, I will send them to you for only the cost of shipping.

Jim.

Patty just might work:

Paradise: for all the grief you've taken on this one, report back if you try them. They may be unconventional, but would provide extra space when tying up with other boats.
