Quick take
An inflatable A-3 vinyl buoy for marking spots or protecting boat hulls in various water conditions.
The Polyform A-3 is a one-piece inflatable buoy that also works as a boat fender, sized for boats of roughly 40 to 50 feet. It measures 17 inches across and 23 inches long with about 14.5 gallons of volume, and it uses a vinyl valve for inflation. Boaters who want a high-visibility marker or a rafting fender will find it comes in a grey finish here.
