Fiberglass gouges

[billmac]

My 88 Cajun Maverick has some gouges in the hull from scraping over rocks.  What do you recommend for filling those in?  I'm not concerned about aesthetics at this point.

Just mix up some fiberglass resin with some strand and fill & sand. Gelcoat over that.  That's if you can see fiberglass mat in the damaged area. If not just gelcoat the scratches.
