Maybe 4-6 layers. Then some gelcoat then go fishing. But what do I know my boats 40 years old ;-). Pretty she aint, but she runs out well.

Thanks for the response Tiny. I think I'm going to wait til the winter and try your approach. Would you just buy a repair kit? Or would you think I would be better off resourcing a particular fiberglass and resin?
