Repair bullet holes

[SCS]

I parked my 2000 Crownline with a fiberglass hull behind the trees this summer when we moved to West Texas. My son decided a few weeks later that he wanted to do some target shooting with the .22 so proceeded to set some bottles up over the burn barrel. Later I was walking by the boat and discovered 5 holes about the size of the tip of a little finger. At least one is all the way through. Any good ideas how to fix these holes so they look decent?

Whatever method you pick, I hope your son is heavily involved in the process, both financialy and hands on

Also get him involved in gun safety courses. <br /><br />Sure glad it was only something that got holes in it and not someone.

If possible repair the holes from the inside then gel coat the outside, using a wax paper over the gel and back it up with a materail that will conform to the hull to save sanding. Its a good idea to practise on something else first to get the knack of it first--Bob

Jack has a good point.<br /><br />But first you must address your feelings about this situation. I remember that my father would address his feelings in a situation like this by bringing my cranium in contact with said damaged product with sufficient acceleration and repetition to pasify and rectify his feelings.<br /><br />
