I had a dime-sized chunk in my SeaDoo hull from someone hitting a bolt on the dock. There was also a surface scrape fairly wide and a few inches long on the bow. I had both repaired including matching color for under $300. Granted, this was 10-15 years ago but it didn't take long and wasn't a big deal.
Also, when I bought the thing brand new there were several surface cracks where your feet go. The dealer said (and I read online too) that they are only cosmetic. They look the same 18 years later. In other words, your scratch may not matter structurally. If you don't like the way it looks you certainly are entitled to get it fixed. Either way it's good to have an expert check it out.
