Hunter 23.5 Navarre
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.

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.

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".
