🚤 Taylor Made Tuff End Inflatable Vinyl Boat Buoy - White, 18" Diameter Review

I didn't buy it for its intended purpose. I bought to make an aqua bag. The seam in the middle tipped after I started stuffing it. I didn't try to contact the seller because I was using it for something else.

Large size, easy to put on, I suggest putting a plastic tag on with your coupon or boat name in case they come off which I never have. But that's because I put a plastic tag on it with my boat's name, phone number, and our home port number.

We bought 3 inflatable boat buoys, two were fine, but we inflated one several times and it is starting to collapse. Due to the short 30-day return policy, we are left with an unusable buoy and no way to get a working replacement. I will not buy this brand again.

I combined this with a shackle, heavy punching bag spring and swivel and created a water-filled punching bag that can take big hits. I heard the quality control was poor and I actually had to return the first one because it was leaking at the seams. So far so good with the second one - let's hope it lasts.

I just installed it in my practice room next to my heavy bag. WORKS PERFECTLY! I have found it to be less damaging to my hands and arms than a regular heavy bag. (In my 50s, I was training for my first sanctioned amateur fight—there are worse hobbies). I did heavy bag exercises to Nate Bowers to improve the condition. Check them out if you haven't already (You Tube). I switch between the bags depending on the combination. A heavy bag is better for high-low combinations, straight buoys, hooks…

This is a great product, but you won't believe it if you don't understand the inflation mechanism. A needle attached to an air tank compressor is the only way to do it unless you're comfortable wasting the time and effort. In this case the needle does not go through the valve like a normal valve in a sports ball. It is just inserted into the hole. Air leaks out the side of the needle, increasing the pressure in this very small space. It then exits through the side of the valve past the…

I could hardly wait for the spout I ordered. Injector/plug removed. Be careful with this little connector, it splits into two parts. When I screwed it back in, the two pieces came loose and I almost lost the inner pole in the buoy. Gather firmly back. I also ordered a 5/8" shackle. I barely poured water (due to the lack of load bearing attachment points here), it's still a lot of fun. I just used a small funnel and filled it carefully. I would add a small amount of water. Water until the bag…
