[C320-list] Catalina 320 spun-bound polyester

[Yam B]

Thank you guys so much for helping me with this fiber glass issue. I had a
Fiber glass repair shop look at it and he does not think that this is part
of the factory construction, he think that the boat got hit and for a quick
fix they decided to put a lot of filing on it for support. He think that
the keel got changed. I will still need to contact Catalina to confirm
however regardless of the outcome the repair shop recommend me to just
patch it with Epoxy and some fiber mat and call it a day. He think that the
pervious filling is strong enough and should do the job.
