Re: How bad is this damage

Thank you everyone for your help.
After digging into it, there was more damage than thought. The bow had some stress damage down the keel. Found a few light blisters I decided to have done then had the lower points re gelled and the whole bottom painted with interlux (the good stuff)
All totaled it was $4500, of which 3200 was from damage pictured.
I could have probably done it cheaper myself, but it was a project well beyond me.
I had several "do it at home" estimates who said they would not tackle this job because it was to complex.
Here is the final project.
Just tinted the windows yesterday to a #10 but that is not seen in the photo.
Thanks again all.

I also just serviced the lower end, changed the oil and filter, new starter, recleaned the fuel system that I put in a last summer, re did the bench seats... Its ready for summer again.. as soon as it gets here.

Looks Great !!!! Nothing compares with fixing it the right way if you don't mind spending the money.

Can you post some close up photos of the bow. Would be interested in seeing how well the gel matches, and the finished repairs. Can't see that in the pic above.
