    Bevel back the insides, form a piece of aluminum, and tape it to the hull. This acts as a form, for the new laminations. The bevel or taper that has to be done in prepp is key to a good repair. Once the inside is laminated, the hull will need to be flipped, for the outside repair work. While upside down, the area needs to be ground out to a taper or bevel, and then start lamination repair on the outside. Grind, sand, and finish as desired. Jet boat hulls are thicker on the bottom than most hulls, this should give you a solid repair if doing it your self.
