Best way to patch fiberglass?
Been googling a fair amount and trying to figure out the best approach to patching up my problem. It looks like the previous owner might have backed into a cement pole or something, and punched a hole...

I would repair it with glass but if you are concerned about doing it I have an easy fix-
Cut out around the damaged area and fill it with expandable foam so you keep H2O out. Sand it down as flat as you can.
Then buy a 4x8 foot piece of 0.020 matte aluminum sheet with an adhesive laminate on it. Have the metal cut to run entirely across the ramp and cover the hole. It should look just fine and you will be good to go!
If you need the aluminum- PM me. I can cut and ship a sheet with the adhesive already applied so all you have to do is peel and stick.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Sun Cure: http://www.amazon.com/Sun-Cure
That is exactly what I would have used for that repair and yes, it would have stayed water tight and a permanent fix. I actually carry a tube of it in my trailer just in case.
I have done WAY to many fiberglass repairs and know this stuff works.
