Appliance Epoxy in a rattle can would actually be a good temporary fix for that hull. That's some strong a$$ paint for a spray bomb and the black would be a close match.

The stuff you posted a pic of is Body filler, or a similar product to Bondo. You need actual fiberglass cloth and an epoxy resin to repair your damage correctly

I wouldn't put fiberglass cloth on the bottom of that hull. patch it with some marinetex, sand it and call it done.

it's hard to tell how damaged the hull is from your pics. It doesn't look deep or very bad. if it is bad I'd reinforce on the inside of the hull.

You can use vinylester resin (epoxy not required) with chopped strand mat and some cloth. The bottom is built with chopped strand mat. Respray with black gelcoat and it will look just like new.

At the speeds that rxp is capable of, that damage will get worse. And if the damage goes past the outer shell to the inner liner, you're in for major work.
