What size fenders for my 05 SANTE?

[Boardstiff]

Was wondering what size fenders you guys are using on your 210s? I have an 05 SANTE and found a good deal on some Taylor made bumpers that are 34" x 12".
Are these to big?

12 x 34? Thats like 50 footer sized, like houseboat or yacht. I am pretty sure I would have a tough time finding a place to put those in the boat. I would say you really want to be in the 5-6" diameter range. I think if you go by the recommendations that come with most of them you would be somere in the 4-1/2 to 6-1/2 range and 15 - 22" long, for infrequent use and ease of storage you could probably be on the low end of that, if you tie up a lot in big wind or chop on the bigger side.

I have 8 x 18 inflatable Ronix Happy Hour fenders because they are super easy to store but they are a bit bigger than I need. I used to use a pair of Polyform G2's 4.5x15.5 that I used to augment with a Polyform G1 3.5 x 12.8 until it walked off, they were just a bit small for me to leave unattend so I ordered the Ronix after spending a day using them with a G21, they worked very well.

Take a look at the Hyperlyte website under accessories. I bought a pair of the inflatable Accurate bumpers last season and they seem to work for me. Couple of deep breaths and they're filled. Deflate to a pretty small size for nice storage. Black and orange covers look pretty cool too.

I have had very good luck with the large version of these dockmate fenders. I belong to a boat club so I am often tied up to a dock during the day when it is too rough to board and I have never gotten a scratch using these. They are a little big but I still have room to store them in the rear lockers on top of a full 750 (no hard tanks). I have them mated to the clips below which hold amazingly well around my mid-ship cleat and then around the grab rail by the sunpad. If I don't feel like taking them in the boat when I go out I just clip them to my dock line.

I bought a 15" and slightly inflated it (not all the way). I put it in the middle at the beam of the boat's cleat. Then I use a 6"x22" fender off the back and pinch it all in at the dock.

The 15" round are awesome.. just take up room in storage of the boat. (hence deflate slightly).

Dont see the hyperlite bumpers... those sound good as well

I went with two TM big B, 10x20" I think. With rope through the center and fleece covers. Definitely could have gone smaller but couldn't be happer. They are attached to the dock long ways(horizontal). I'll try and post a pic. For docking on the go, I'm going to use those new flat bumpers. They look great and take up a lot less space.
