Okay, my topic got a little off topic yesterday, so here we go again. I just purchased a 2002, 20" Bennington 205L. I am in the process of purchasing the necessary items for our maiden voyage.
I keep debating between 6.5" and 8.5" fenders. There is the possibility of some rafting off, boating in Lake Erie, but for the most part inland lake with some docking at restaurants. I bought the 8.5" to start, and thought they were overkill so sent them back. I then ordered the 6.5" and they look too small?
Also, with docklines, I originally ordered 3 - 20 footers (1/2 inch), then read that I needed 2 - 15 footers and 1 - 20 footer? If you have any suggestions, let me know. Like the feel of the 1/2 inch better, but not sure if I should have stayed with the 20 footers.
Also, I need to be purchase an anchor - any suggestions?
Thank you for your help!
