Phantom...
Sorry I had the description wrong.... I have to disagree with you. Regardless of what you want to call them, on a busy weekend, that water WILL be rough and they WILL rub your paint or Gelcoat. Boats have a RUB rail for a reason and its not just to cover a seam. They need to install tie posts.... and then the place will give the NAZ a run for its money! Woodsy

Kurt,
Does the beach bar have any gluten free menu options?

I disagree on the idea that the Bumpers would cause damage to the Gelcoat. I suppose over a number of years that could be true, in extreme conditions but come on to tie up for a hour or two, I don't think so.... I have used bumpers with my boats for years... and not had an issues....

LI....
I use bumpers all the time.... to protect the boat from other boats... rub rail to rub rail. Now take your 4000# boat, and protect it only at the waterline with a rubber balloon.... in very rough (for a dock) water.... That's why they make these.... http://fendersox.com/ Woodsy

No Fenders on Gel Coat!
I have an Eastern 22' Lobster with a rub rail, no fenders required at any vertical post style dock or recommended.
If I were to use unprotected fenders against the gel coat it will definitely scratch the #$%* out of the gel coat in no time at all, minutes not hours! Fendersox would be the only way I would use any fenders directly against gel coat, even then it would be for a short time only and with little to no movement, such as boats tied tightly together. Dan
