Default fiberglass pontoon leak on boat slip, HELP!


I have a boat slip with a hoist, and today being the idiot that I am,
ran my prop into the pontoon on accident. The pontoon is made of
fiberglass. After hitting the pontoon, the top of the pontoon has a
very slow leak in it. Is there some kind of fiberglass resin of some
sorts I can put on the small puncture to patch it? The puncture is on
the top of the pontoon, so it won't be submerged in the water (if I
have the pontoon filled up with air, but the downside is there will be
pressure on the hole until the application cures.

I called a guy who specializes in this, and he wanted to put a new
fiberglass coating on that portion of the pontoon, taking roughly 2-3
days total for all the work, costing $150, and requiring me to find
alternate storage for my boat in the meantime. I'd much rather use
some magical patch kit if such a thing exists.

Also, awhile back I had some hull damage and bought some marinetex or
maritex, forget what it's called, but it's for patching a gouge in my
fiberglass hull on my boat. Would something like that work?

Thanks in advance.
