been gone working

Been busy all spring working on my boat..It's coming along
Fixed some loose planking, stripped all the topsides..still considerable sanding to do but I can see an end..way down the road..but it's there...

Have two questions, I have a small gouge taken out of a plank in a hard to see area, Don't want to replace the plank for it and it won't show much, but wondering what is the best filler to use for that?

The other is back to the hull, scrapped all the loose stuff and need to pull out some old sikoflex, I want to putty some areas however not saure what produce is better? any thoughts..

Oh btw started the engine last week, ran like a charm..but no other electrical was working...there's a task!



cheers

Bill
