Has anyone also had a bad experience with a relatively new stern bumper?
I bought from the Amel yard in april 2004 a new bumper and within a few months the cover material showed some scars and this summer the cover material started peeling off. I contacted Amel on this issue and they offered me a new one for half the price. Because I think that the problem is the bad quality of the cover material - which is definately not the same material as used on the original bumper that lasted for more than 10 year - I hesitate to accept this offer (which in fact I judge not to be generous at all, if the problem is a an inferior product that was sold). This summer I met an other Amel Santorin in Sardinia with a relatively new bumper that also shows cover material peeling off. So my question is are there more owners of Amel boats with recent bumpers showing peeling off of the cover material?
