I just bought a Hyde Drift boat from a buddy and need some advice on how to best repair the bottom side rails. There a number of chips and gouges. Some have gone past the paint and into the fiberglass and one core shot to the kevlar. Does anyone have advice as to how to best repair this short of having a new G4 bottom? I heard not to bondo but to fiberglass it. As far as paint, is this something I could do myself...if so what sort of paint should I use. I live in Colorado and driving up to Idaho to have it fixed up is not an option right now.

Any help would be greatly appriciated!
