Just purchased a 2022 R8 surf and want to get some new fenders that are easy to use/adjust and will protect the boat. Primarily used for tying up with other boats in coves. Was looking at Kemimoto & Sentry. Any thoughts or
Feedback appreciated!! Thanks

We’ve been using the Polyform G-3 fender for our 24’ boat for many years. Officially we should be using the next larger size of G-4, but we are usually only docking in relatively protected waters.
We rarely tie up with other boats, so I’m not sure how much my experience will help?

Best fenders are by Fendertex, sold in the USA by PYI. We have 3 sized for our R8 Surf for normal docking and 2 larger ones that we use when we tie up with other boats. They are inflatable, easy to store and very durable. A bit expensive, but worth it.

These are another good option for both docking and tying up with other boats. We use (3) for both scenarios. Available on Amazon as well.
