I'm trying to get my 17.6 back on the water this spring and was wondering how to repair this. Looks like the previous owner banged the hull on numerous rocks and chipped the gelcoat in multiple spots. They originally had bondo covering these areas but it looked terrible so I ground and sanded it away. Do I need to repair this with fiberglass or can I bondo and color match it with a gelcoat repair kit? The fiberglass hull is in great shape, no dry flaky spots when I uncovered these areas.
On the deep gouges you may want to fill in with "Dura Glass" and sand back into shape and then top coat with MarineTex.
