Default Gel Coat Chip and other Sealing Issues

I have a few Gel Coat chip below the water line that are to the fibre-glas mat and I would like to repair them before I set the boat into the water for the season.
I will also be needing to re-seal the molded-in swim platform and repair the stripped out rub rail attachment holes.

Looking for advice on what type of products to use.

The boat is a 1988 Scarab Excel 28 and is not in show quality form so function at this point is the objective. Cosmetic upgrades will be for next off season.

Thanks in advance. OSO has been a world of help on this adventure.

Jeff

you could probably get away with one of those gel paste kits from Boat US. Color may not be spot on but will at least protect it till you can get to cosmetics. Make sure whatever gel you use its waxed.
