I don't have the LTU fenders but I have the Exile's. I inflate mine at the beginning of the season and leave them inflated. I stow them in the rear lockers (I don't have storage bin option) and even when filing the larger wakemakers ballast they still fit. I'll never go back to a traditional fender again. At the end of the season I deflate them and put them in storage for next season. Unless you have the rear storage bins you should not need to inflate and deflate these in a Max since the boat is so deep.
Hull hugger or Sentry style fender will not protect your boat in rough or busy weekends. You want as much space as possible away from the dock an other boats you may be tied up to, especially if they have board racks.
