You can tell too as the season progressed ropes were eliminated and now its bare minimum.

My bayliner was way up front, the SV more to the middle of the boat. one other tip, in one of the photos you can see where the mooring base where, I had to move it significantly when I got my SV, so if your trying to kill the two birds with one stone maybe split the difference and mount it in the middle of the two. One thing I did have to cut which wasnt a big deal was cut a hole in the front of the cover and sewed up nice to make a hole for the whips to go through and attach to the cleat. Ill find some pics of how I have mine hooked up. Honestly I spent a summer playing around with it and its no longer rocket science, first summer i was nervous this summer its tie it up and let the hurricane roll through. I use 5 lines total: The 2 ropes attached to the whips, two bungee lines to keep the boat pulled towards the dock to counter act the whips pulling it out and then one rope just keeping the stern cleat from letting the waves push the boat forward. The whips will only hold the boat away from the dock but does limited from forward and backwards movement. Also what I do since I am on a busy wavy part of the lake is I stagger the cleats. My dock is old and rotted out so I drilled through the dock and into a piece of pressure treated wood so it the whip comes off its taking 3-4 deck boards with it. My recommendations are make sure the cast base pieces that hold the fiberglass whip are secured well. Cant remember if it was wood or not though. I remember a thread where you got a huge dock. They're going to be used for my neighbor's 20' Chaparral open bow most of the time, but I'm sure I'll tie up to them a few times too. I picked up a set of the 14' whips from Overton's.curious (maybe can answer) if you have any tips and tricks for a first-time owner of whips.
