Marine Tex

[Runner]

This past weekend, we hit a submerged object and put a nasty gouge down the entire length of my fiberglass hull bottom. The gouge is about as wide as a finger and 1/16 to 1/8 inch deep. Goes through the gelcoat and digs into the fiberglass just a little.

This is a 19-year old boat, although it is excellent shape. I just repowered it and put a new trailer under it last April.

After looking at my options, looks like I may tackle it myself with Marine Tex.

Any advice, tips, opinions, or warnings?

Thanks in advance!
