Did this just happen? If not you need to check for rotten wood. Where is the hole?

i have a fiberglass boat and it looks like someone scraped the hull on a rock or something and did a bad job patching it. the spot is in the midde of the hull and about a foot long and 6 linches wide and i want to redo it over so it looks better and give it more strength. could i just sand it down and use bondo or should i get some kind of fiberglass repair?

Bondo generally doesn't work well on a boat. Especially under the waterline. How deep is the scratch? Do you plan to regelcoat overtop of the repair?

Not saying we won't answer every question here, but did you try a seach on this, as there has been a ton of the same situations here recently.

Thats a mighty big pinhole you have there....
