A few squares of 6oz finish cloth will drape right over it

Can’t remember year of hull. My buddy who I helped build 9 Jersey Speed Skiffs in the 2000’s, stored and finally restored this beautiful classic Bahia Mar! Sold to a guy from Sacramento, if I remember correctly. Around ‘17 during severe forest fire season. Never heard anything again from owner. She was a stunning refurb to include the veneer ribbon mahogany transom, custom teak swim platform with a tilting center section while raising I/O. I think it was completed in ‘15, at 50 years, and his 50th birthday. Faux teak and Holly floor was too hot for SC/GA summer sun. Hope pics included. Really cool SeaCraft conversion!

Agreed...Not sure what's under it, but you might try to take some of the corner off of it as well. Light glass with epoxy, and work your way up to the biaxial. Peel Ply works wonders, but that looks like too small of a fix for that. Let us know!

Sand back the old glass until there are no air bubbles or edges, Cut a small 2" cap piece of 6oz, then thicken epoxy (fibers and the antisag stuff), and use a chip brush (cut the bristles down to half an inch or so). 10 oz doesnt really go around 90 degree corners, it will pop up unless you roundover the edges with a 3/8 router, or 40 grit sander.

Having written all that, I noticed you fared out behind your wheel... I didn't even fare the inside weave on my console, so I shouldn't be giving you advice!
