If you ever head to The Bahamas, you'll see this lots in the Northwest Providence Channel off Freeport. It's relatively calm, but deep there, so...
I received a screen shot of a WhatsApp message from the captain of Ragnar, which is owned by a Russian. They were being subjected to a vigorous...
To be honest, based on how (I think) you will be towing, you are probably putting too much thought into this. That being said, if I had one chance...
I don't know if you are correct about it absorbing shock. While poly does stretch, it's more a creeping stretch than elastic (like nylon). For...
Make sure to use backing plates on the tow point(s). I prefer to tow with the engine down, as it creates a bit of drag if the tender is surfing...
Inflate with a lower PSI pump, and then top up to desired PSI with hand pump or compressed air. After you're at 2-4psi it won't take much to get...
