California Performance boat repair???

I have a question on what type and brand of fiberglass and epoxy materials including gel coat should I use to repair my California Performance boat. It’s a 1983 medium light hull with small stringers 19’. The seam is separated aprox 8’ and I have a 6” X 6” delaminated piece of fiberglass on the side below the rub rail. I also have several nicks and dings on the bottom I want to address. There’s a good size section on the bottom from parking on the beach that the entire gel coat is gone and is getting to the fiberglass.
I have seen a lot of how to stuff on repairing fiberglass and gel coat. I’m looking for what fillers, epoxy, glass and gel coat should be best for a CP hull. Where would be the best place to get materials and a new rub rail?
Any help would be great
Thanks,
Shawn

Take it to Az. Pro Fiberglass in Tucson, get the exact rub rail from Rex Marine.

www.sherfab.com for your materials
www.rexmar.com for your rubrail
this is where I would go for my boat restoring needs!
