Is this the side of the hull, above the waterline? Is the boat Gel-Coated, and has the 'groove' penetrated
the Gel-Coat?

I have an expensive boat wrap on my boat, but I would likely still use my fenders even if I did'nt, unless
the docks were using the verticle bumpers that contacted my rubrail.

Any way you can display a pic? There are a lot of questions about this type of repair. First do you want to have a finish that would appear it never happened? Or do you just want to fill it in and get it close?

ok so you have two gouges caused by a screw on your hull so theres minimal impact damage so I would say the damage is only what you can see, second you need to find out if the grove goes into the fiberglass or just in the gel coat, third like i believe someone stated above or below the water line but since your asking about it i dont think its of issue you want it fixed (reason being said, if below water line and left alone you run the risk of water damage causing more problems).

well with little info thats all I can say at the time about it.

I am a licensed glass and gel coat repair company that offers mobile estimates and you can find me on the web just type fiberglass repair melbourne florida or go to our web site.
