New Product - BABz - Giveaway

[myers]

Every boat needs a nice set of Balls!

These look really nice, I am sure they will do well on the market, advertising in right places is always the key. Love to try a few and give you feedback on them, would be great to have fenders where you do not have to worry about scuffing.

24" is huge. love the idea of no scuff. another consideration is we have a lot of wave action on busy weekends, the effect being that when docked, the waves can lift the boat so much the buoys get lifted above the dock edge. with bigger buoys maybe theyll bounce the hull away from the dock sooner. interested to try, congrats on new product!

Will jump in here as well that we would love to try these out. Been talking that we need something in addition to the fenders at the dock to help from dock damage.
Thanks for the offer of letting some TO members try them out for you.

This is a great idea! I am currently running a set of grossly oversized polyform G5 bumpers for the exact reasons you mentioned. They work great but are huge and take a lot of storage room. People laugh at me until they see how well the bigger bumpers protect the boat.
Send me a set and I’ll spread the word in Denver.
Cheers

I'm guessing these fill with a standard needle valve, right? What are the odds that maybe a 16g CO2 inflator would fill it, so they can be stored flat in the boat, and pumped up quickly when needed? I'm sure we could figure out the math to see how many cartridges it would take if you have a recommended psi, or psi to diameter measurement.

Nevermind, answered my own question, at 18 inches diameter we're looking at about 50 liters of volume, and a 16g cartridge only has 8 liters of CO2 at atmospheric pressure. Should have done the math before typing

Count me in. Great idea.

These actually use a plastic plug. I definitely didn't want to have to mess with a needle every time these needed air. They will fill with the same 12V pump you use for tubes or other floats or you can just blow them up yourself with your own lungs.

I like that^^^

My current ones use a needle and they always melt in the sun.

[Dan and Christy]

Those look great and address the concerns I've had with our current bumpers.

Nice! I'm in for a set of BABz!

[Paul Middlemore]

Who says their balls are big enough? Hope the endeavor pays dividends, or at least helps out with your gas consumption. Looks like you really thought it out, nice; impressed.

[MikeB313]

Great idea. I love how you used the plastic plug instead of needle for filling.
