If you do drill, I would recommend Evercoat Formula 27. You can tint it to match the gelcoat, and it is polyester based, so if the areas are large you can brush gelcoat over it and it will cure properly. Some people like to use Epoxy products. I tried them because they are supposed to be more fool proof, but they won't hold gelcoat well because gelcoat is poly. Epoxy sticks to poly, but not vise versa. The Evercoat also cured faster and seemingly just as hard and sands easier. There are a lot of things you can do. It depends on the size of the holes. If they are just drill bit holes say 1/2 inch or so, just tint up some 27 to match the gelcoat on the boat-or close to it then catalyze it and push it in with a putty knife. Sand the excess. Send Jeff Rohlfing (username Jeff) a PM or maybe he will respond to this. He has written earlier posts on his use of Evercoat tinting agents. He may be able to point you to the previous thread.
