Bought a cheap Sunfish as a first boat in need of quite a bit of repair. Figured it would be a good winter project in the South. Pretty heavy, have started drying it out via two inspection ports and a four inch duct fan from a project that never worked out (pretty much an enclosed litter box that vented the litter smell to the outside.) After washing it, however, I've started to take stock of the gouges and scrapes that it has. I'm fully prepared to go ahead and patch as much as it needs, keeping in mind that I'll probably have to fix some of the "repairs" that have already been made.
Here are photos of the three places I'm most concerned about. I didn't notice any leaks (soap bubbles), but may be concerned about any seeps that may let some water in slowly. Right now, I'm wondering if these will need to be patched with fiberglass or if I'm good to use a filling compound.
