I have a 1983 Ebbtide Fish and Ski I just recently purchased. Everything is great. The other day I was giving it a good looking over and underneath I found a few little spots where the fiberglass is chipped. The boat does not have any leaks as I know of. I have been on the lake fishing several times so far and after all day there may be 1 or 2 cups of water in the hull. What would you use and how would you use it to maybe repair these small spots of chipped off fiberglass without paying a bunch of money getting it redone and not screwing up your paint job?

Some pics would help.... How big/deep are the chips?

There's a lot of resinheads here that will help you out.

The chips are not to bad, I am guessing that some are maybe 1/16 a inch up to 1/10 and inch deep. I dont' believe they are deep enough to cause any problems or leaks. But I was just wondering for future purposes. What type of material or resins or epoxys would one use for this?
