    Yip you got it a horrible repair some one tried to do and this was a brand new boat !!
    Have a close look and see how many things you can see that have been done wrong and things that still have to be done !!
    First it has not been filled properly !its need more gel coat to fill the part that has been grind out !
    Second the gel that was used has to higher catalyst and is filled with bubbles ! Porosity so when it sanded flat the filler is porous !
    Small quantities of gel goat are nearly always over catalysed 99.9% of the time

    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 !!
