need help holes in my boat

There are 6 holes in the boat that are about 1/4 ''in size, and all the holes are in a 1.5 foot area. So my question is can I repair the holes and have the repair areas overlapping each other or should I cut out that section and replace it

Sounds like an easy fix.Post a picture if you can.But don't cut out a section until you get a green lite from the guys that know glass!!

if they just holes then its a matter of using a grinder very carefully and doing the repairs from inside possibly !! Like has already been asked for , some pictures of outside and inside so can ascertain exactly what you have got AND THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO REPAIR !!!
Messing round with boats is fun !! the learning never stops ,even after more than 30 years there's always something new happening somewhere ! BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!

i would lay down some glass on the inside of the hull and then replace your core. then flip the boat and finish from the outside and then paint/gel. my vking has such a thin ouside hull that i had to put down glass and some spots were paper thin and i didnt take too much off when grinding. i could see though the hull from the bottom of the boat looking up at the sky. not holes, but clear gel with the metal flake in it and i could see the sun shine thru in spots.
