Grind it out between the lead keel and the grp hull and clean to bare about 3 inches above and below the gap. Clean the surfaces in between the gap with acetone. Let dry and apply west system epoxy to the surfaces with a tooth brush. Then Make an epoxy putty with the same west system and fill the gap with the putty. Mix more wet system and soak a 1-2 inch wide piece of glass matt on top both sides and around the leading edge. Do same again with a wider strip of glass matt. Be sure to get air bubbles out when you apply the wet glass matt. Do once more if you have room. Grind away and spikes or lumps to give a smooth contour with the undisturbed surfaced. Fair with light weight polyester, i used auto body filler. Apply bottom paint system
