Thanks,Petralunker

You might wanna look into a fiberglass repair. Fiberglass resin with with a fiberglass cloth or matting might be a good start.

Try using 5200 from 3M. It comes in a tube and is self leveling. Let it cure for 24 hrs and you're good to go. I just did some repairs on a 12' aluminum boat (after I hit it with an axe while chipping ice out of it last winter) and the 5200 is working great. Cheap, easy solution!

Ditto on the 5200,marinetex is another as well as formula 27

best of luck!
