How can I repair this?

[Adrian]

The picture is not so good but you can see a deep crack in the hull and some tape "bitten".
I've part of the tape lost too (not in the pic)

How can I repair both "disasters"?

Thanks

RE: How can I repair this?

You can pick up a gelcoat repair kit from West Marine for fairly cheap. Color matching is the hardest part. Mix up the white and see how it matches by smearing some on the gelcoat not necessary on the place to be repaired to see how it'll match. Do the best you can then fill in the hole. Once try, wet sand and buff.
The tape is super easy, you can either replace the whole side or just the section. Use a razor blade and cut out the offending section. and then lay down the new pin striping, stand back a bit to make sure you're laying it straight, then stick it down. There is a very thin film on the top of the tap, peel that off and you're good to go.
The tape is just good old automotive 1/4" pinstriping tape found at your local automotive parts store.

Thanks Henry.
Anyone knows what color is that one?
I can't see any white (1998) in the list, could it be neutral?

I have the same problem with my 98 ski. So just to confirm, the white colour is silver cloud, and the beige colour is neutral.?

Has anyone used this company.? How close is the colour match.?
