Ahoy Folks,
     I've been seeing this on CL for a while, still oddly curious. Does anybody here know this boat? Have thoughts on how one would go about repairing. I don't have any more info other than what's in the add..

That can be repaired.  Not easily, but with some skill.

Just look at what this young man is attempting: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg-_lYeV8hBnDSay7nmphUA

Keith, for the asking price, the trailer and motor are worth the investment...  Not too far away, tempting, but we'll probably jump into the 23 range for the next boat.

However, for how to fix it... much easier if you can separate the top and bottom to get in, but it looks like that might not be necessary.

For smashed edges of my boat, I just used masking tape and wood to form a mold the fiberglass and thickened epoxy would not stick to.  Layered in fiberglass and epoxy, build up, sand, and you have an edge again.  I have a few more pictures of the process I used, but here are some of the steps.
