            You can drip epoxy from the inside and clamp together. That's not too bad.

              Do not worry, mine was even worse - with missing small parts from fiberglass.
              Mix with epoxy some chopped small pieces of fiberglass ( to add more strenght) and clamp it. Do it from inside, and from the outside put some scotch tape to stop leaking.
              After the sanding and painting will look like new
              I start from there, where the engineering thought intend to stop. The sky is just a border between

                Black electrical tape works better than scotch because it is easy to remove and epoxy doesn't stick to it at all. (tip courtesu of Darrin...thanks D.)
