Default Shockwave 55 gel coat and repaint??

Hey guys so I picked up a shockwave 55inch rc gas boat couple days ago.The bow of the boat got damage during shipping and there is some other areas as well that need attention.I am wondering is the bow can be fixed with bondo or should it be glassed??as well as some other areas??Also since the gel coat has some chips in nicks in it and im not crazy about the yellow paint.Would it be safe to fix the issue with bondo and sand the gel coat and paitn over with some automotive paint??My friend is a body guy he would be doing the work.Just wondering if this would work and is a good route to go.Also I need to put some foam in this boat as there is none.Can I use the foam in a can to fill the cavity within this boat??other tips or trick would be greatly appreciated.I will post some pics later.Thanks guys.
