I've been thinking about docking our pair of 2013 GTI's at the lake. My only concern is it can be somewhat rough at times.
In the past we have attached the bow by rope to one of our dock posts and the tow hook to a cinder block anchored at a diagonal away from the dock. (See my profile picture for example).
I am considering getting 4 boat fenders (12" diameter x 36" height) and securing them on the dock posts (6"x6"). Then secure the ski to the dock by a short line attached to the tow hook and somewhere on the front. My only concern is giving the ski enough range of motion for waves but limiting it so it doesn't bump against the dock. Also not sure if I should secure the front of the ski with the bow hook alone.
Any thought or ideas would be appreciated.
