Can't give advice, it seems that you have a much more comfortable standard in the US with regard to berth space than we have in the EU. Here it is quite normal that they are very tight. It is very common that you are not able to enter your own berth with fenders outside i.e. you have to rely on the fenders of your neighbor during berthing, you can just kick them out if you are already inside when the vessel is not moving any more.
Nevertheless I would try to convince the harbor master (right word? We say Hafenmeister in German or Havnefoged i Dansk) that the oversized neighbor should move to another berth ...
Happy New Year!
