I have used both, hull huggers & 6" bumpers... I prefer the bumpers. One of the issues with the bumpers is tieN em off at the right hieght. This year I decided to pre-set / loop all my bouys to a certain distance so it doesnt mattter who puts them on as they are all set to the correct length. Makes it a lot easier when people are trying to help. 3 weeks ago at Tulloch about 10 of us tied up boat to boat, one of the guys had the large 12" bouys & he was the only one of the bunch that never took a second look at his boat, not once. yes they are bulky & tough to store buthe didn't have a worry in the world. worked for him.
