I do not have the rails or handles in my 98 Ski Nautique and am wondering if the wrap around bumpers for docking are the best? Anyone use the inflatable ones Miami Nautique are selling. Seems like it would save room and for someone like me who will need bumpers 2-3x in 40 -50 times out it might make sense I just don't know if I would want to deal with a pump or how good they are??

I use the "low freeboard bumpers" , Overton catalog number 34181.
The front bumper is permanently tied to about a 12 foot line, with a loop that goes over the pylon, and hangs just over the edge of the boat,
For the back of the boat, I took out the rear seat back, and put about a 6 inch piece of 1 inch wide nylon webbing under the two side brackets that hold the rear seat back, and the rear bumper had a small clamp that holds the bumper to the webbing.
I am going out tomorrow morning, I can try to remember to get pictures for you. -

Front bumper knot. Both knots are just bowline knots.
Extra line, for tying to dock cleats, holding, ETC.
