Looking for advice on keel repairs and trying to find replacements for hull drains for my 12' Livingston.
Keels are scraped down and into fiberglass. Wondering if I could grind back gel coat on hull a bit and put down a layer of CSM then a couple of1708 layers on top of that and then gel coat to finish. Would this be an adequate repair? Photos show extent of damage and needed parts.

Any and all advice appreciated.

If she were mine. I’d sand, lay down two coats of epoxy resin and then paint.

Thanks for the comment. I don't have any experience in how that type of repair lasts and or if it is worth the expense of the fiberglass repair I was talking about. Just thought it would be stronger.

Any epoxy better than another?
