I'm tempted by flat fenders in order to keep the hull of my new boat in good condition. The thinking being that flat fenders can always have an inside and an outside, so that the inside doesn't get dirt on it.
The alternative is normal fenders with fender socks, but I always thought fender socks can actually collect and harbour dirt.
So why don't more boats have flat fenders? Is there a downside that I'm not aware of?
