Hello!
By boat has a fairly large softspot (2ft long) on the top portion just ahead of the forward right frame support post thing. I am really worried that one day somone is going to accedentally step on it go right through the top of the hull! :lol: so I really need to fix it but I have absoluetly NO expierience with fibreglass! HELP ME!!!!
Thanks guys!

oh and just for the record I am a really cheap guy :D so I really don't want to waste $200 at my local boat shop.
