Randy, What Doug said. I watched that video and that was about the nastiest fiberglass repair job I could imagine. Since you will have to paint the outside/cockpit side anyway, go ahead and use good fiberglass hole repair procedures (see West System Fiberglass Boat Repair and Maintenance) after which just put something nice over the liner holes. There is no reasonable way to reproduce the liner integrity.
I’ve done this job and it isn’t hard to do correctly. The only “hard” part is filling, fairing and sanding in order to present a fair surface prior to painting.
