I went the cheap Ebay fender route last spring, and lets just say, they're not cheap if they only last one season.
So, what should I get? Taylor Made? Polyform? Something else? I'm looking at 6.5" diameter, double eye style fenders.
Let's talk fenders.

Mine came on my boat when I bought it. They are ugly but they work great. How about Craig's List or the Goodwill. I bet you can get well Loved quite functional fenders much like mine for a bargain.
Or of course there are the virtually platinum dipped fenders from West Marine. Sure to make your wallet cry.
Thanks

I'm lucky to sail where weekend powerboaters are to lazy to bring there bumpers inboard while they motor from place to place
I have rescued 2 that have been cast adrift in the last 4 years

I usually find a couple a year and clean them up and give them away usually to the power boater that lost it and they always say let me give you $10 for it.

Strange, but the best buy I've found for these is at our local Lowe's! They have a box of them in the middle of an aisle for about $10 each. Moral of the story: Keep your eyes peeled, even on the hard.
