I'm intimidated... My 260 2 X mooring ropes snapped in a storm last august and she broke from the ball. The boat ran aground in sand but had the misfortune of being battered against a solar panel frame that just happened to be mounted to a concrete block on the beach (see attached images) .
End result is that the hull is damaged and quotes for insurance vary from between 16-24K, hence... its a write off. Insurance has decided to pay out the insured value and let me keep the boat.
I believe the damage is superficial (so does the loss adjuster) But, I know it is a lot of work to repair. Just wondering if anyone has any tips as I believe I can repair this myself with watching enough youtube videos.
Specifically, I would like to know:
1) Most suitable 2 part resin
2) Best fiberglass mat
3) Gelcoat
4) Any other tips and tricks.
