That sucks! Sucks finding shiat you weren't expecting unless it's money. It does look like a beaching scar. Boat probably drifted up on to a rock from a wake. Try the using what essex said. Should get you through the weekend fine.

Couple of ideas before you get to work. Try to dry the area out with a light first off. A simple 100 watt drop lamp will work. Then sand the areas around it to make the Marine Tex hold a little better. Moisture trapped can be worse than a seen hole. If you didnt get this in time dry it out for the real repair or make sure the shop does it.
good luck with the repair Don...
See ya out there this weekend
Have you ever done this?? I am willing to try anything.. just want to be safe..
No, to be honest, I never have. I have just worked with bondo before, on autos and planes. I am sure there is probably a marine version. You would want a permanent repair with glass, but that would be easy to do to get you through the weekend.
Don: Had a really similar situation on my Advantage a few weeks back. I think I hit something in the water and it left a similar mark. Took it into Advantage and they had it repaired in about 2 hours. I would find a reputable boat shop and have it fixed. It seriously is a very quick fix as long as you haven't blown through the fiberglass...(which it doesn't look like you have done)...good luck.
