GL: Using Fender Boards on the T-Tom and Tennessee

[Ralph Yost (home)]

Black fenders do look better but if you do get creosote on them, you wont 
know until you lay it down on your boat and the creosote rubs off on the 
boat !

I do endorse the use of LARGE fenders. When buying fenders, better to buy 
them TOO BIG than too small. Undersized fenders lead to damage to your boat.
