Re: Best bumper setup for my 252?
Love Cyber Monday! Ordered everything for my bumper setup and saved ~$100. Everything on the Cobalt Sport website is 20% off today, so I opted for the Cobalt Bumper lines instead of the generic ones off Amazon.

Alot of peeps must have taken advantage of the mugs as well. I wanted the 50th Anniversary ones and they were out of them. All they had left were candied red ones for some reason?

They always stock more red. Known fact.. it’s on the internet. So how many red ones did you score? LolBig Block Power wrote: Tue Nov 27, 2018 6:31 am

Re: Best bumper setup for my 252?
Yeah me too. Those look good. I bought blue bumpers to go against a black boat, but those are very classy.

Re: Best bumper setup for my 252?
the PO of my boat put the sea grass in. I just took it out for winter so it wouldn't get mold or anything like that. My boat sits on a lift at the Dock all winter.

Re: Best bumper setup for my 252?
I went a little different than most on here and bought a set of Polyform bumpers after checking out a variety of options. I was tempted to get custom colors, but their default white and navy match my boat very well and the quality is great.
Check out https://www.polyformus.com/boat-fenders/f-series for the most reasonable options for boats our size.
Next project is to put permanent eye splices in the double-braid lines from the fender clips to the fenders to get really fancy.

Re: Best bumper setup for my 252?
Nice! Mine haven’t come yet. Well the line holders did, but the fun stuff hasn’t yet. I went with black bumpers to match the covers and lines, can’t wait!
Pretty sure my kids are getting me the drive shower for Christmas too, it’s all coming together for spring!
