Such a bummer. On the bright side, it’s not an Airstream… You can definitely see the
Bigfoot has a thicker
fiberglass layup than others, too. My
Scamp would not have fared so well.
There’s an old thread “You Can Repair Fiberglass” with tons of information. The google search bar will turn it up.
I’m a little concerned it might have a couple of spreading cracks. If I’m seeing it right, that moves it into the category of a structural repair rather than just cosmetic. I think- and I’ve not actually done it- you’ll need to grind out each crack and drill a little hole in the end to prevent it from running.
You might reach out to
Bigfoot to see if they have a gelcoat touch-up kit. A perfect match may not be possible if it’s more than a few years old. Shops that sell
fiberglass supplies for the marine industry are another resource.
It wouldn’t hurt to get an estimate from a marine fiberglass repair shop. If you have insurance and it turns out to be more than a simple fill-and-finish, you can make the call about whether to file a claim.
