Hey there did some searching and couldn't find...
Around my area the delta there are plenty of restaurants you can stop at and dock your boat, where do you guys suggest tying off to on the boat and where to place the bumpers.
Might be a dumb question let me know lol thanks

If you can get into an actual slip so you can tie off from both sides, I'd say you can tie off from the bow eye and ski tow to secure it.
If you're wanting to tie up along side of a dock, I would find somewhere else to park. Because of the low freeboard any wake can cause the hull to get under the dock causing serious damage.
I wouldn't risk it.

We have docked at Swabbies, Crawdads, Virgin Sturgeon and Joe's Crabshack on the river. But not with my boat. The docks always scared me. But it is doable you just have to be really careful.

Don't a dumb question at all. I hate docking my boat. No cleats only ski tow and nose hook. You can always try to tie off to bimini if you have one, Steering wheel. I will hang a bouy from the old ski rack mount, and bimini attachment points. I usually tie it up on the straps. This is only a temporary stituatuion and definitly in a protected or no wake zone. Use the bumpers that go over the gunwale.

Then again I don't recomended it. Tie off like crewchief sugested. Or at an angle bow hook to ski tow across a double slip. Might piss some people off. I have done it. Have fun, if it is sketchy Don't do it. not worth sinking boat at dock. Wakeboard boat cruising the dock. Not good
