Best way to fix this hull damage

[dlowdog9]

Ran into the ramp (not in the best shape) when a gust of wind picked up and i hit pretty hard. What is the best way to patch/seal this? Is their colored type fillers? Thanks for any input!! 2004 Sea Ray 185 Sport

Contact Sea Ray, get the Gel Cote number from them. Then contact Spectrum, a sponsor of our forum, and they will get you the correct mix, tho it may vary because of sun fading after 18 yrs.

Second option is to buy a gel coat repair kit (see below) and match the color as best you can. No matter what you do, you'll need to fiddle a bit because, as @zool noted, your color will have faded from what it was originally.

I've used the Evercoat kit and it's not hard to get very close to the current color.

Evercoat Gel Coat Repair Kit

Permanently repairs nicks, gouges and scratches in fiberglass hulls and decks. Blends hundreds of color combinations and cures glass-hard in one hour. A special release paper and no-run polyester gel makes a slick, no-sand finish quick and easy. Use the clear lid to mix colors...
