    Chips in hull of new boat. Used it twice. How serious?

    You caused the damage by beaching Breaches in the gel will lead to other issues with the hull later. I would not use it until you patch the gel You need a keel guard if you plan on beaching it will if there are rocks in the sand..... BTDT, patched and did a keel guard
