Fiber glass is pretty easy to work with if the area isn’t too large. Are you delam on the side or the rear? How big is the area? You probably won’t know until you open it up. And thats the problem. It could turn out to be a really big repair. But, if it is not too big an area you will have to remove inside walls which are probably buckling anyway. Then remove the insulation and cut out the delamed section. At that point you start with some fiberglass fabric, epoxy and hardner and build an outer wall. Like I said if its a big area it will be a chore. Get some chicken wire or screen or some kind of fiber board to act as a form. You just start from the edges of fiberglass thats left and form an outer wall. You mix the chemicals use some cheap toss away paint brushes to wet the cloth and as it hardens it will turn to fiberglass. You just keep building until you have it formed thick enough to work. Then start sanding and sanding then prime and paint. Once that is done to your satisfaction replace insulation and inner wall board. The paint won’t look as good as gelcoat but if you work at it you can get something that looks pretty good from 20 ft. First thing is to go on line and look up repairing fiberglass or laying up fiberglass and watch the videos. Hope this helps. Oh yeah stock up on acetone. It will clean your tools and hands.
