The last day of the boating season on the river my boat broke free from
the dock and was pushed up the boat ramp. Before I could get to it, the
bottom of the boat under the transom was scraped down through the gel coat.
It seem the damage is just past the gel coat and not on a very wide area.

Since my wife has LOTS of plans for my money other than on my boat, how
serious is it to get repaired before I use it again? I no longer use it in
salt water and never leave it in the water for long periods. Now days it
only gets used once a week over night to go fishing.
