    Quick hull gouge repair?

    Got a few gouges in this old 1981 Ranger. Hasn't seen the water for months so I'd like to do a quick fix on them now to last the season and maybe do something more "finished looking" next winter. Will simple epoxy putty or JB weld do? I've used to fill holes from previous trolling motor and it works well and is easy to work with. You can see some of the strands of chop strand glass, but none are deeper than that.

    I'm almost done fixing my floor so I'm itching to get back to fishing soon!

    I’d use Marine Tex for a quick fix.

    get some adtech p14. It's good for below waterline, sands easy and is buffable. And it's white so it'll match pretty good.

    Dittos on marine tex. That stuff rocks. Or just get some 2 part epoxy resin, thicken it a bit, fill, cure, and sand.
