So...some pesky rodents decided that my kayak would make perfect bedding and chewed a giant hole in the keel of the boat.

My questions are, is it even worth repairing? If so, is there someone willing to tackle that size of a hole? I thought of cutting a hole in the top to add a hatch, and that could be used as donor material, but I know it's a pretty big patch job for anyone.

It's a Field and Stream Talon 12, so not a super pricey boat (definitely a part of the "worth it" equation), but when it didn't have a hole, it served me well on multiple fishing/dive trips.

Pics should be attached.

Thanks all!
