I've had 3 sets of the G-5's. They were great.

They don't ride up or slip down or swing out of the way, they don't mark hulls at ALL, and the store a WHOLE lot easier than big round buoys.

Mr. Red forgot to mention that he got the last set in red ever made ..sigh

Why couldn`t you get a gray boat mike we could trade!!

I've been using soft lines for years, Julie does a great job and ships fast.

I appreciate these threads. A quick way to find some of the best suppliers of boat stuff. I know where I'm going to buy my next dock lines for my boat!

Also, don't rule out Slide Anchor for there selection: www.slideanchor.com

NOT a fan of floating polypro lines.
They are weaker than nylon, chafe easily and degrade in sunlight.
I see floating as a negative, just waiting to get sucked up in a prop or jetski intake.
Double braided nylon for dock lines and either double braid or twist for anchor line.

Define "not ordinary colors?" What color are you looking for?
Both Taylor made and Polyform produce a wide variety of colors. "Big B", thru hole type are the best, IMO.
Due to quantity, inventory and boater preference, many only stock the basics but can get others. Sometimes this works for you since certain colors can be on closeout but usually the price is higher.
I have seen deals on fenders at Amazon that beat what I can get from my wholesale supplier.

Floating is good, so you can grab it and get it out of the water before a prop or jet shi run it over.

They are not as strong, what are you doing with your dock lines? the amount of force needed in a dock line, or anchor line is not going to break a line. the anchor will give, now a dock might hold and your cleat might but unless some hurricane tsunami is coming i don't thing the 99.9% of the time raft up, docking situation is going to require something stronger then those.

Like mine all have the BAHA logo on the black sewn part.

I hope they spelled it better than you did:party-smiley-004:
