My recently-purchased 1989 Montauk 17 needs a small hole repaired in fiberglass. The boat has the tan colored hull which I want to color match.

What products are recommended?

This will be my first time doing any fiberglass or gel coat work.

Bryan, you in Michigan or Texas?

Read these reference articles:

On my boats if I'm repairing a small hole (1/2" or less) I use West System epoxy with fillers and paint the the repair.
