The wake of a big boat pushed me into barnacles. The front bumper of my Spark got scraped up. That part can be purchased for $59. Whether you try heat or sand the plastic, it will change the texture. I sanded mine with 320 and then 400 wet/dry sandpaper (wet). I taped off a symmetrical pattern so that it wouldn't look so bad. I'm fine with it. I could just replace it, I could sand and paint the whole part, or I could just use it (which I will do when I get it back).
The hull is about 6.5 mm thick. I'd probably leave any small scratches on the hull alone.
Hope that helps.
