My seadoo got washed up on the shore with a spring tide during a fool moon. I had a bowline and an anchor to hold the seadoo to the shore. Moral of the Story - Don't underestimate the tide

I now have a ton of rock scratches all over the bottom of my hull. Will this effect seadoo performance? Should i sand the scratches down and use a body fill to fix? Thoughts?
 
Are they through the gel coat? If not, it'd take one hell of a precision speedo to record any difference. The issue is, scratches through the gel coat allow water to contact fiberglass fiber which with any long periods of in water exposure can lead to delamination.
 
If I am not mistaken the hull on a 2019 Wake Pro is CM Tech and not gel coat or regular fiberglass. There has been a lot of discussion on how to repair this new type of hull and I'm not sure a good fix can be done, anybody can chime in and help out if possible,
 
These new hulls are not even shined under. Mine is pretty rough. If there are no cracks I wouldn’t worry. I too have a buoy with a rope tied on a tree and I can tell you that you need at least 150 pounds of concrete and solid chain so that it doesn’t drift under strong winds.

I took a picture from under mine. Will post it when I find it.
