    You could try this outfit. Several members have been able to source gel-coat repair kits in the orginal colours from them:

    Thanks!! I've done body work on cars but not on boats. There are some small deep rubs and some cracks on the back of the boat. I was wondering the right way to fix this. If I bought a can of that aerosal spray paint in black could I sad down the bad spots apply some bondo resand and apply paint? Does it need a clear coat? thanks for your help!!

    How deep are these "cracks"? I don't think bondo works on boats. You really need fiberglass/gel coat to make the repair correct.

    I'd take a close look at those cracks. Doesn't sound good. Is that the original engine?
