gouge in the gel coat

[gonefishin1012]

So I was tied up to a stump crappie fishing and a boat came by and made a huge wake. It caused the boat to drift and hit a Tee post stuck in the top of another stump. It made a scratch/gouge above the water line about 6'' long and about 3/16'' wide. I can just barely see some of the glass matt in 1 spot. Scratch is right where the boat registration numbers are.

Boat is a 2015 triton 189 trx.

I tried searching how to repair, but haven't had much luck.

Should I fill it back in with resin? What should I do to fix it? Also boat is jet black and I want the color to match.

I have a lot of experience with auto body work, but I have never messed with gel coat and I have no idea what to do. I don't know what materials to use, but I figure sand area, fill in the area, color match, and sand/buff it out.

Thank you for any help

i'll see if I can get my wife to go get a picture of the spot tomorrow. I'm out of town working and trying to figure out what materials to order so i can fix it when I get home... I appreciate it.

You can grind out, fill, spray background gel color the flake/clear gel, then clear gel.
