Need some help! Last summer i hit a submerged rock in Long Island sound.

When the boat was hauled, i found a large divit had been taken off the front bottom portion of the keel. It is probably about 1 inch deep (from bow to stern) . Looks like it took the point off.

Any suggestions on how to repair it?

Thanks in advance!

West System with the pink filler. You mix the epoxy and then mix in the low-density #407 filler.

There are lots of other things to use out there, but West is the best, in my opinion.

When I did the initial work on my Catalina smile, I used West with their high density filler (403 & 406 if I recall) on the inner layers & then when I was on the outer layers where I wanted to be able to sand it smooth for paint, I used the 407..good stuff.
