2012 210 Challenger pump hull damage

[kernal]

So, I recently upgraded from a 01 1800, to a 2012 210 Challenger. Boat is in really good shape, however a couple weeks ago I sucked up some debris in a no wake zone. after removing a small stick from the port side impeller I noticed some damage on the starboard side, before the jet pump. I do not recall seeing this when I inspected the boat, but as you can see in the pictures there is some white "repair" in the pic. I'm guessing the repair pealed off. The chipped area does not leak, and is not water logged etc. Just wondering what is the best option to repair this right.

This is the best and quickest repair:

Here is the procedure
1) Do a light sanding on the tear
2) wipe clean with denatured alcohol
3) mix and apply putty
4) Use wax paper over the putty to smooth to same contour

Found a picture showing wax paper in use


Here is a link showing the whole process

Marine-Tex is one way to repair it and readily available as well.

If you decided to re-gelcoat the area, you can find small patch kits here:http://m.spectrumcolor.com/Items.aspx?key=cat&code=K&manu=SEADOO&incl_m=T

Nice find JPASS, I have a seadoo RXT that needs some TLC and this has the listed official colors.
The gel coat will the best finish. Considering this is a hidden area Marine Tex would work nicely.

Thanks, I was thinking marinetex. I think I'll also order one of the spectrum kits, as I have a couple nicks on the front that could use a touch up, any idea on what color white?

My gut would say the Alpine white for 2011 - 2012 models, but there's also the White RSM for 2005 - 2016. You could always call SeaDoo and ask which is the correct color. You also need to keep in mind these may require a bit of tinting as there's sure to be some sun fading to any of the gelcoat on our older boats, but these will be the closest match you can get and a great price.

I've known about this company for quite some time. I've never used them yet, but have heard great things from those that have. There selection is amazing and they have just about every color for every make and model of boat/ski out there.
