I am pretty certain they are plastic and not fiberglass. The vendor that provided them may still be able to make them, but it is a long wait at best. We have repaired several and even refinished some that were not the right color, but the only ones that could be found. I think the replacements were in the 1600.00 range each. Refinishing with some repair was running about 1400.00 each. Might check on metal replacements and some welding / fabrication for front and rear step. If the fenders can be repaired, another option would be to have coated with Line-x to hide imperfections and spend less time cosmetically.

I switched to metal on my 2014 EZ Loader no longer supply’s the fenders and Skeeter missed the boat by not making theirs compatible to the older boats.

Call Rex at EZ Loader trailer. I needed one 2 years ago, the going price then was $1800.00 + shipping but the kicker was 8-10 weeks FROM date of Order.

We doubt anything we have will cross over, though someone’s might?
Hmm?

Why not buy aluminum or galvanized fenders from trailerpartsdepot.com? Their most expensive tandem aluminum fenders are $180.00, and the galvanized ones are cheaper. Buy some Skeeter decals, if you're a purist. They have plastic ones, too, but I consider them temporaries. ..................... IslandJim
