My Yammie GP800 was put on the rocks by a couple of girls (Thank God no one was seriously hurt). Anyway, I have some pretty extensive repairs to do on the bottom but I need ideas on how to flip it and hold it upside down without damaging it. I imagine I would have to build some kind of sled with wheels because this project could take a while. Has anyone done anything like this before?
I have been restoring an old boat, so I already have several gallons of epoxy and quite a few yards of 1708 biaxial. I had sprayed my boat console with gelcoat mixed with Duratec which came out great (a ton of work though) and I am wondering whether it would work for this also. The fiberglass on the waverunner looks different from what I am used to seeing. I was afraid it was SMC, but I have the Yamaha Factory service manual for a 1999 GP 800 and in the fiberglass section it says see Yamaha FRP repair manual, so that cheered me considerably.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!!

Here is a pic of the damage: Keep in mind that this waverunner was like brand new before it was wrecked and has given me zero problems in all that time.
