i can get to both the inside and outside. its just one of those things that i would feel paranoid about everytime i wet the boat lol . My West Systems book has a few different methods to repair it. I am leaning towards dishing out BOTH sides at an 8:1 ratio then doing an entire wet layup for the most strength. The V always had a wet bilge I just thought it was water leaking thru the floor livewell, either way it was a surprise to see water dripping like that from the pickup. Still trying to decide on epoxy or polyester resin. I will repair this hole with epoxy just for piece of mind. might even get some carbon fiber cloth to use in it
