Those who know me KNOW how I nice I keep my Donzi. That being said, I would rather a guy jump on my boat with shoes on to prevent a good scrape than let my boat get scraped and have to deal with ins companies or a large out of pocket expense.

Great point about the time of year Woodsy.
I know you and I would probably have tied as far away from other boats as possible anyways. It is kind of like parking a really nice car or truck in the tightest spot just to be closer to the store.
Speaking of that and getting off topic, I love it when you see people driving around a parking lot looking for the closest spot to the entrance of the gym. Now that makes total sense.
