You just cut out whatever messed up. Give yourself an outside shape to work off of, put some coring on the inside. And glass it all in on the inside and make sure you retab the top and bottom good.. Fiberglass is fiberglass.

Only because I'm proud of what I did in my career and know the education it took I'm calling B.S. on you and your over simplifaction of structural work. There is an element of education required for structure design and/or repair regardless of the materials used, be it wood, composite, metals or combined elements. Actually repair can be significantly more difficult then initial design. In our business we typically found guys with your mindset not doing well at interviews.

Like I asked on the other thread "When are you going to finish something ? " That's how you gain respect here as a builder or businessman, finishing something.

tell me again how i dont finish anything?

C'mon. Can't we just watch this guy fix a boat or not fix a boat or try to fix a boat, or whatever he's going to do?

in Phils defense fiberglass repair is not rocket science , Grind the crap out of it and use vinlyester or epoxy resin so the repair adheres while using plenty of quality cloth and you are half way there.

Phil what is the story on the boat that you repaired with the delamination and hole down by the keel area ?
