So you've gotta clean that area with as dry of a wet cloth as possible, preferably isopropyl alcohol wipes....then pick at it a little to see how thick of a patch it is....

Is that the tail of the boat?Grind off the patch or cut a hole? The top side of that patched area is the floor of the boat. The flex seal idea above is sounding better all the time.
Towards the tail of the boat yes.Is that the tail of the boat?
Whoa, stay safe buddy!May not matter by the time today is over. Got 6 current tornado warnings in the state and 3 are tracking to pass either close or right here lol. Gonna be a fun afternoon.
Sounds sporting! And like you'll be spending more time with a chainsaw that doing fiberglass work.Just missed us to the south by a couple miles. Its still on the ground headed towards the air base.
No damage here at the house but Little Rock and Jacksonville where our air base is took direct hits. Went south of the air base but dead centered town. University Medical Center in LR has gone to level 3 for mass casualties. They didnt say deaths so I think it is for injuries.Sounds sporting!

Hammer and chisel was my first thought to see how much would easily come loose. Honestly not overly worried about ruining the durned thing even though it is handy for fishing small water.If the patch is peeling up anyway don't waste ur time sanding it off....chisel and hammer or whatever tool u got to rip the old patch off. Anything spongy cut out.....a die grinder and bur bit make short work of it. Utubes for an hour or so and u be a professional... hehehe
I had never done any fiberglass work prior to rebuilding my canoe and was a little nervous but it's not difficult. If u ever been down to a boat yard and seen the caliber of humans that normally are fiberglass workers u would have more confidence. Getting everything clean and prep work is upmost importance.
Just remember even if u totally screw up it can still be fixed but u just might have to pay a little more
