I thought it was Mollers who changed his bunks on his trailer but then couldn't launch the rib as the screws were too long?
Long time ago now but I was sure it was Mollers?
I'll get me tin hat in case i'm wrong

Can I get away with just filling with strand n epoxy then sand to blend in n paint or will a larger area have to be glassed in then sanded?

I would dremmel,it up slightly and Gel her up ,, apply some Sellotape over it untill cured helps get the shape level,
Then wet n dry till shaped as req,,, G3 compound to desired finish required
Patience is the key. Leave lt over night if I was you,,, tends to sand better. If left longer more so in this climate.

Your memory is quite good but the fine details let you down. I don't think it was a rib!

Well it appears that it has been done more than once, and by venerable members of this community. The other one is bigger than me so I'm not brave enough to name names 
So Gramas, you are in good company

In my defence, I was 22 and it was the first boat refurb that I'd embarked upon. I was just unlucky that my overlong screws found the wooden bunks in perfect alignment. Otherwise I may've spotted the bastards and not looked quite such a tit when attempting to launch the thing. :-)
