There's lots of info on this stuff if you search the forum. I don't know why you couldn't clean it up and slap a kevlar or s-glass patch on it.

Keeper or Beater?

Post by Einar »

i'd consider trimming away the "dead skin" into the good zone, and then fill in the depression with Gorilla, working it smooth. After that you have choices, described in detail elsewhere; glass for strength or a vinyl patch to just keep the water out and the hull in the game.
How the rest of the hull looks and works may be the factor. A Keeper or.... just a few more miles?

Not misplacing all your crap in somebody else's car seems to be even harder
