A great all season tube of 3M 5200 will seal that up well, and it wont come off easy. Send us a picture to make sure we are seeing what you see. And for what it's worth, you aren't the first one!. Don't sweat it.

Good thing they aren't 1/4' holes!!

The best way to fix them is to dish out the hole area a bit, spread some poly based fairing compound, sand it, and try and match the gel color..

I think Iboats sells gel coat repair kits...
