97 prowler fix and need advice

Ok so my grandma gave me her 97 26ft Prowler TT. Put new tires on it replaced all bulbs and was pulling it from the beach when the from right side ripped off a quarter mile down highway due to water damage. Limped it home after a very expensive trip to lowes. Tore out all the bad and replaced with the good. Got all the ply board on and ready for Fiberglas. But have NO idea how to fiberglass and what I would be getting into if I ordered the 10'x10' sheet from online. How easy is it to do at home or should I just use a fiberglass/ plastic panel that won't fit flush but would be quick and easy. Oh and by the way I leave for the beach July 9th so the quicker the response the better!! Please help this newb out and give me some kind of direction of what I should do. Thanks!! And by the way if I knew how to post pictures on this thing I would but I'm clueless. Haha
  • Trying to learn the art of fiberglass and the scope of the repair would almost cry out for getting an experienced glass guy to do the work. I'd suggest a boat repair shop. If you can affix a temporary repair that is weatherproof, that would give you some time to enlist help or learn about glassing. There are more than a few procedures and nuances to getting glass on there with good results.
