Punch a hole in a boat

The fittings have been removed.  Now for the frightening but fun part


Removing the patch and re-patching:

Patch Removed - Wow that is a big hole

Hole cleaned up and patch made with a step joint

Dry fitting the patch 

Patch epoxied to hull and sanded smooth

Seams tape with Fiber Glass tape and epoxy

And then of course MORE SANDING

P.S.  Traditionally people will use a scarf joint, but due to the awkward shape of the hole, I rather used a 1cm step joint so it would fit better.
