Hi Dominique, on our SM, hull n°26 year 1990, we got our hold rear bumper covered with Sunbrella. It is a reasonable solution, less than 100€, if your foam is either in good shape or still

I have placed it in 2 locations. The first was under the salon seat next to the forward head wall. There I took out the macerator. It worked out very well as a freezer. The other location is in the
