Billybob-

Polyester resin will work fine (since your boat was originally made with it)but epoxy is known to have better secondary bonding characteristics so if you don't mind shelling out some extra $$$$, go with the epoxy. As far as glass is concerned, I would order 1.5oz mat and 1808 biaxial...which is much easier to wet out than the 24oz woven roven that your boat was made with. I would start out with a piece of 1.5 oz mat that is smaller than repair area and than go with a slighlty larger piece of 1808 and then keep repeating the process of using gradually bigger pieces until damaged area is covered.
