In addition to the potential leaking problem mentioned by sm, I have read that Git Rot works just fine, but wont give you the rock solid feel it had before. Some people say it has a slight rubbery or spongy feel (with high pressure applied) after the repair. That being said, I have some Git Rot on stand-by that I plan to use for any soft spots that develop on my boat. Also, that's all 2nd hand info. I haven't had to make the repair myself, so I can't confirm how accurate that is. If anyone knows better, please correct me.
I would also recommend you inspect the inside fiberglass layer for cracking/damage and avoid Git Rot if there are any problems inside. And of course, repair the inside damage before repairing the soft spot. I've seen a couple failed repair attempts due to internal damage. The epoxy just flows right out inside the hull.
