I bought the two DVD set from this guy -
Fiberglass-Repair
Be aware he uses polyester resin - not epoxy.. I learned a few things from the video and I think they were worth the forty or so bucks..

You might also try West Systems - I have a few of their videos (on their epoxy products) they are also very informative - esp. for a novice.

Best of luck..

West Systems also has a pretty decent booklet describing how to do a number of repairs -

What sort of help are you looking for ? what particular task do you have ? the easy part of this is the knowledge - the tougher part is finding the courage to take a saw to your boat, and diving into the job !!

let us know
