Any recommendations for some bass boat fenders for glass boats? Renting a cottage for a week and as much as I'd love to take the boat out every day, I'd rather keep it in.
AKUA makes some nifty fenders but at $36 USD a pop, that will be over $100 CDN for a pair with shipping and tax. Ouch. Any other solutions (and yes, I will put down my power poles as an added precaution)?

Re: Bass boat fenders
The ones you have already found get amazing reviews. For $100, you'll be set for as long as you own your boat. If that isn't what you want, I've tied mine using three ropes before. First off, I pointed the bow of the boat out towards the river with the motor closest to shore and trimmed up. 2 ropes to the dock but with 4 to 5 feet of slack in them. And then a third rope off of the back clear and tied to another cleat on shore about 20 feet from the dock. That third rope was pulled tight to hold the boat that 4 feet out from the dock.
