Glass boats don't do well against docks.
Our son-in-law's pontoon got hammered in his slip by another boat, both had fenders out.
Depending on the direction and size of the waves, fenders and rubber do not always save you.

Out in the open I would agree, in the Weirs channel I just don't see it being comparable a bass boat wake vs a storm. Maybe I just don't spend enough time over there when its windy/rough to compare since I skip the weekends and always get the glassy conditions due to being a local.
Then again maybe I am just lucky after 5 years my beautiful gel coat still doesn't have a dock scratch. (Knock on wood or dock)
