Default patch work

I have a small gouge on the bottom as the V meets the side. Any ways it's not very big, about 4 inches long 2inches wide, maybe 1/8 inch deep. What would be the best way to repair this myself. Thanks

Learn to color-blend and apply gel coat.

Pro gel coat repair techs mix pigments into base gel to match the boat exactly.

You'd probably be best off to have a pro do it. They don't charge that much. A local marina of size will have a regular or two they can refer.

the best way to do it yourself is, ask a buddy who knows how do it and buy a case of his fav beer.....

Please don't jam him up because I am bringing my 85' Mistress to him in 2 weeks!

I was going to have fast forward paint the boat next year, I was only looking for a possible quick fix . I'd be better off doing it right the first time. Thank you for all your help, everyone. It seems alot of people know there stuff, thanks.
