my vote is cut it out.

looks like three boards effected so you will want to stagger the repair hole so that you don't create a seam where three boards have an end that lines up....kind of like repairing a hardwood floor.

had to do a similar repair on my boat. my wife startled me in my shop while i had a grinding wheel on my drill related to another matter...was working right next to my boat....slashed into the side of my yak pretty much perpindicular to the strips. needed a break and beer to recover from that. but after that, the repair was straigh-forward and pretty much undetectable unless you know to look for it.
