Damaged Rear Bumper on 26' RB

Post by coloradolion »

While pulling out of a roadside parking place in Canyonlands last fall the rear end swung out and clipped a rock. The rear bumper was lifted to the point where it was broken as shown on the photos, and lower corner of coach slightly damaged. Replacement bumper from BF very expensive and delivery 6-8 weeks. Anyone know of a source for used bumper? What are your thoughts on repairing? Thanks.

I would take it by a boat repair place and get a quote. Body repair places that deal with Corvettes could also do the repair.

I would guess that any repair facility that deals with fiberglass could do the repair. I wouldn't bother with an expensive replacement bumper.

Agree. Had a similar problem a few years ago when I backed into a tree stump. Took it to a body shop that restored corvettes. Reasonable price and looked like new when finished. Cost was less than $400.

I'm replacing rear bumper on my 2004 24RB because I don't like the looks of it. So if it will fit I have one for sale.
