If the glass is not compromised, You could sand/grind then fill with epoxy, sand the entire bottom and then 3 coats of graphite/epoxy. You could also go with one of the coatings they put on airboat hulls.

Obviously, paint is always an option but it sounds like you’re looking for something tougher.

I haven’t seen a hull bottom done with bedliner material just inside, so I can’t give you any feedback on that. I hear they can put on a smooth finish but it would be more expensive than epoxy/ graphite.

Might want to move this to Boatyard Basics folder, you might get more feedback.
