I've heard (never tried myself), that you can take a blow-torch, a smooth butter knife, and a welding glove, and smooth the abrasion out, possibly even reseal it if it was punctured. You just heat the butter knife in your hand with the blow torch (with the welding glove on of course) and the apply the knife evenly to smooth the surface out. I'm sure that it is probably a little more tedious that I make it sound, but it could be a good try before buying a new hull. Maybe try experimenting on something not so important that is made out of roto-molded plastic (ie. recycling bin, rubbermaid container, ect.). I've heard though that you're not supposed to be able to re-seal roto-molds after they are set if the hole is all the way through, so I wonder if some sort of plastic weld kit would work. Just suggestions though. Hope it all works out!
