The bottom sees the most abuse, so use the strongest filler you can. Fiberglass doesn't really dent though, so I'm curious what that really is. If it's just some factory imperfections then no big deal, but if something hit it and pushed it in then that's likely damage that needs fixed.

Pics?

Its from the rollers on the transom when it rotted. I guess 40 years of sitting in the same spot took its toll. They're only about 1/8" depressions if that. I built up the support inside in those areas when I rebuilt the transom last year. I just want to smooth out the outside too. No stress cracks or anything are visible. I can try and get pictures later.

I imagine the root cause of it was over tightening the tiedowns on the trailer. The hammering of all the potholes and point loaded nature of the rollers seems like it eventually happens on all boats on that type of trailer.

Oh and I test fit the subwoofer. No I'm not an obnoxious ahole blasting music everywhere i go. I'd just like a little fill on the bottom if I'm relaxing in a cove alone.
