Again, no pictures so I can't see how big the damage is, but I'm guessing not very big - soooo:
I'd recommend the Group A size (that's a quart) so you'll want the Group A 105 Resin and the Group A 205 hardener. That's a relatively fast hardener, which is what you want cause you'll be working upside down.
And of course you'll need some of the 300 series mini pumps - these are very cool. It's a pump that screws right into the container (one for resin, one smaller one for hardener) and it's a one pump to one pump ratio so you can't goof up the mix and go to hot or cold.
I'm assuming you'll be painting of gelcoating over this. The resin has a pretty good shelf life and if you ever want to use it in the interior as a clear coat over bare wood (which looks great) all you have to do is switch to the #207 hardener. Makes a great clear coat.
As for thickening it I'd use the 406 filler - that's a general purpose silica. If you think it takes a tremendous amount of abuse in that area you can use the 404 filler instead - higher density, usually use it for high stress areas and bonding. It's a powdery substance you mix it in with the resin/hardener mixture a little at a time til you get it the consistency you want. Also makes it a heck of a lot easier working upside down.
And if you have some wide, clear packing tape it helps keep the mixture in place while it cures - pull it off before full cure though.

7-22-2026 Three Word Post.....The Next Generation.... (Rep.#20,238) from: GoFastRacer
Its seems to be caused by years of trailer usage on the beatup ole Apache Trail because its right next to the inner right bunk and follows the strake. I've attempted quite a few fixs with various methods and it still comes back. 
 I'd be a little embarassed 
 
I'm going to need part numbers please, the guy on the phone must not of had much training 
just do a vinyl wrap on the whole bottom 
Off to Ebay 
Bluewater Marine here in town is expecting a shipment next week, if it doesn't make it looks like West Marine will have a new customer.
