I'm looking to replace the dock and spring lines for a new-to-me GB 36. 1/2 inch is advised for boats up to 36 feet, but I'm inclined to upsize to 5/8 for ease of handling and security, and because 36 feet is the upper end of what is recommended for 1/2 inch. But 5/8 would likely have less stretch and shock absorbtion than the 1/2 inch. For anyone using 5/8 for a GB 36 or similar, any issues and thoughts on whether 1/2 or 5/8 inch lines are preferable? Thanks.
