Please have a look at the hole in this fibreglass boat.
http://www.blueskymarketing.co.uk/boat.htm


professional repairers in UK ( scotland /Glasgow) have proved
too expensive ( £800 ), its an old boat and needs a lot of other
attention

Any thoughts on wether a general DIY guy like myself should handle
a job like this ?

Thoughts are a thin layer of fibreglass sheet on base of boat , then
insert fibreglass mesh into hole , then resin , then another layer of
fibreglass sheet on top in boat , the plan would be to leave the thin
sheets in place
Is this the best way to go about it , any thoughts advice welcomed.


Further any thought on what this boat make/model is or pictures
of how it was kitted out originally would be appreciated

Epoxy strips of 1/4" plywood to the inside of the boat.
Then fill the remaining hole, from the bottom with epoxy mixed with glass
strands.
Fare the finish with epoxy, and go boating.
BTW, epoxy with glass fiber available on Ebay in 3 gallon tubs $45.
No I am not the seller, just have used the stuff and it is tough as cement.
Total cost less than $100 US.
