Does anyone have any suggestions for the repair?

Call the state police! Firing a firearm with in 100 yrd of a house, road so
on is very illegal...especially if the direction of the bullet would have
gone into the house if the boat was not there. The person could be charged
with attempted murder. A similar thing happen to my boss and the guy did it
three times he now is serving time.

Take a few good pictures of the hole in the boat and in the direction that
the bullet came from, for your records... People who do these kind of
things are severely "off" and tend to not stop unless they know that you are
keeping track of the details. Also make sure the police report states the
direction of origination and if they take the bullet out get a picture of it
sitting next to a quarter (for scale). I guarantee it will be lost as soon
as the officer gets into his car (know that from personal experience...).

You may also be able to claim the vandalism repair on your home insurance
but it really is easy to fix and won't cost that much.

Clean out the hole, get a fiberglass repair kit (comes with a small can of
resin and some glass sheets) and cut the glass into small pieces the size of
the hole. Saturate them with resin and layer them into the hole. Fill it
up as tightly as you can. Let cure and then get a gel coat repair kit and
fix the gel coat. Easy to do but will cost a couple dollars (probably less
them $50 from start to finish).
