Re: Hull Repair on centerline
That doesn't look so bad. You can probably do it yourself. It won't look like new, but you could make it look VERY good at least. If you've never worked with fiberglass, I would suggest you buy some from a local supplier, he could give you some advice. Learn the process of working with polyester resins. Lay up some fiberglass mat on some wood, and then gel coat it, and then sand it. Practice first!!
The repair looks like it could be made with chopped fiberglass and resin, then some fairing compound to finish it off. Just leave enough depth for the gel coat. You’ll need a 4 inch grinder among other tools. There are different types of materials that can be used buy some and try them out. Fiberglass mat, chopped fiberglass, cabosil, glass bubbles, fairing compound, and so on. Find a local supplier, they will guide you. Folks here will help too. It’s best to start a dialog with someone who is selling the stuff.
Good luck.
