Well, we had them on the 245 and loved them. Yes, they do prevent you from cleaning in that area.
Anyway, when we are retrieving in a wind or in a current, it would sure make the whole thing go smoother and quicker. Additionally, if the boat is not perfectly centered on the bunks, the lower chine will potentially rub on the anti-slip on the top of the fender. When the boat is perfectly centered, there is only about 1/2" to 3/4" clearance under each chine.
As for the technical oversize ...... I won't tell if you don't ......
If you do this, you will need to build heavy duty ones, the ones on our 248 trailer are very similar to what both you and I are use to with the 245 sundowner which is way too light and just fold over when boat hits them, I want to just cut ours off!!! Just about worthless IMHO.

Thanks for the input/feedback I was thinking along those lines, as well. I've been contemplating the design in just that respect.
