I have had success unbending a plastic kayak by placing hot water from the store in it then using wood forms to create the shape i wanted. As far as hole repairs are concerned take a look at the videos on line of repairs made using GFlex from West Systems. They cut a plastic boat in half and repaired it using this material.

PS Be careful recovering the boat
