Well Dennis wasnt bad here in South FL, except for some strong wind gust. Some trees down, specially that branch that fell ON MY CAR! although that would entitle another post not related to catsailing.
Here is my issuse at hand. Aparantely the wind was strong enough to drag my boat, several feet crashing it into a trailer parked next to my boat. The end consequence is a 6" gash that goes all the way through the hull. How would you attack this problem?

My plan is to get some west marine epoxy and some density filler and patch her up. One thing is I do not know how to start or even deal with these type of problems.
Would you expoxy? Or Fiberglass? I do have experience working with fiberglass and epoxy. Enough to where I am confident I can repair this problem, with proper instructions or recommendations.
I am hesitant to drive it up to Vector Works Marine, because that would involve 16 total hours of driving.
Plus doing repairs on your own boat is half the fun.
What would you folks do?
