I agree with the other posts--leave it alone! 1) It looks great 2) When sitting on the beach, people only see the top, not the hull 3) Same when it is in the water 4) Most important, if you sand through the fiberglass you will greatly weaken the boat, and patching is likely to look much worse then the current minor flaws. Paddle the darn thing!
