Sand all till it looks good gel coat and paint to match, I bet thats not more then a couple of days work.

Then you have to put the rub rail back on and there is the hard work, cause to get it off most screws will be junk and you will have to put all new. Depending how it goes you might just replace the whole thing?

The problem is there really isn't anywhere I can "go inside" and lay glass from so I am thinking I am going to have to build it up from the inside but from the outside...??? I was maybe thinking I could fill the void on the inside with foam or something to give me a support to start buiding glass on top of until it is back out to the hull, the keep going and sand flat...thoughts?
