Where can I buy a bumper section for a Hunter 23.5 ?

[FWBpilot]

Last night a storm did some damage to the Hunter 23.5. It was tied to a dock with 4 large inflatable bumpers. The stern cleat broke off due to 22 MHP winds. The boat moved and hit the dock for hours without the inflatable bumpers. The 1 1/2 inch bumper strip on the boat got damaged, plus a small crack on the fiberglass. Where can I buy a 3 ft section of this bumper strip? See pic.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Yep they can get it… and if you are trying to google search for “rub rail”

And the inflatable things that hang off a boat are FENDERS because they fend the boat off of a hard surface. Bumpers are attached to a dock--to protect boats without fenders. However, bumpers are rarely used except in private slips.

Call Dave

He is semi-retired and pretty much only takes on work that is brought to him. He is a great guy and one of the best fiberglass guys around.

If you don't mind dragging the boat up a little past Crestview, he is the way to go.

NICE!

And when a boat leaves the dock without retrieving their fenders I silently judge the skipper...(okay maybe not so silently) ... and will say something like... "there goes a boat with their tic-tacks dangling".

Ask for Mike at this forum store extension 106 as he originally ordered the rub rail for the 23.5.

Can you share some photos of the damage?
Have you considered adding fender material to the dock and posts ?

That cleat is secured with two machine screws into aluminum plates encapsulated in the fiberglass. Suggest larger cleats with thru bolted ss mashine bolts into a large stainless steel plates inside the boat. There is no wood in the deck
