Hi - I've attached a picture of the keel of a boat I'm restoring. It's a 1977 Santana 525. The keel is lead wrapped with fiberglass. As you can see from the picture the gelcoat is worn completely off in some places. My question is what is the best way to make this right? I'm thinking a fairing compound so I can build it up and make sure the shape is correct, then as with the rest of the boat an epoxy bottom paint (like Interlux 2000e) then my antifouling paint. Are there any other suggestions? The hull has some smaller areas where the gelcoat is worn too but I don't think they are cause for concern.
