Be sure to examine your stringers and aft area glass around the keel. We did the same last summer and I have a 12k check on my desk from Geico to fix it. Caused stringer damage and some delamination as well when the after end compressed. John McCrea Talisman 1979 36-1 Mystic, CT 06355

Assuming you mean repair the keel and not the rock? :) I'd try to restore as much of the original shape as I could with a hammer or maul. Then I'd grind, file or sand close to the original shape. Assuming you'll have some holes or depressions remaining, I'd grind them and the area around them
