[Rhodes22-list] Bow Repair | NH

Bob:
Depending n the damage you might need to grind out the area and rpair with
cloth and filler. I use epoxy for everything as it is simply a better
product but just keep in mind that epoxy adheres  to polyester but polyester
does not adhere well to epoxy.

Hello, Recommendations please for repair.

At waterline on the "point" of the bow, our Rhodes collided into some shore,
rocks in a storm.
The damage was clear, once I pulled the boat out for winter storage.

1st-spot is 1.5x1"
2nd- spot is half the size of the 1st spot.

Structurally the bow is sound.
Is epoxy the best for repairing?

Thanks in advance,
