Ouch!!! That left a mark

Im still trying to decide how to tackle these. They are not deep enough that I feel my repair would hold and too deep to buff.

I have some similar scratches on my boat, they are not deep so I'm going to just wet sand and polish.

I have a few battle scars from over the years... most of them were from the previous owner. I repaired some of the white ones, but I haven't tackled the black. I don't want her to look too pretty then I will start worrying every time I tie her to the dock.

Friday we met my In-Laws at the Nautical Inn for Lunch and then we were taking them out on the boat for the afternoon. As normal we put out the dock bumpers on both sides of the boat before going into the slip. As we were entering the slip some waves forced the boat over to the left side of the dock, I thought no big deal until I heard this scratching noise on the side of the boat. Well the dock was in dis-repair, a section of the rubber bumper was hanging down in the water, and a bolt head that was under the rubber was exposed and made a foot long scratch and a 4-5" scratch as well. I was sick to my stomach as I have never scratched up any of my boats over the years. Luckily I have a buddy that does fiberglass and gel coat, he is coming by the house tonight to check it out. The scratch went through the gel coat to the top layer of the fiberglass, so it should be a pretty straight forward fix. I did get with the Hotel/Restaurant to let them know this dock needs repaired, the security guy took pictures and wrote up a report, I am doubtful they will do anything about it except maybe fix the dock.

Here are some pictures of my boat and the dock.
