Damaged ST-3 Hull

I recently purchased a 2020 GTX 300 Limited for about 1/3 the Spring time value. Engine runs great, but it's been run into a dock forcefully leaving a hole roughly the size of a softball with some cracking as well. The overall hole is centered where the nose ring was 10 inches wide and 9 inches height and 1 inch above water line. Have you or anyone you know had any success repairing damage that extensive in such a crucial location? Also, that ST-3 hull is acrylic, on the outside. I have West System epoxy 105 and 205. 1708 glass weave. I don't have much confidence in that holding when hitting a 2 or 3 foot wave at 65 mph. I've been thinking about having the front of another GTX 300 scanned and 3D printed to create a breast plate. Wondering if anyone else has had any similar experience.
