What is the overall length of the concave? It's below waterline- I would be tempted to glue strips right on top of those and fair them in. If you do it carefully you'll see a bit of glue line when you're done, but..l oh, wait... No you won't!!! It's below the water line! That's the easiest fix. Your admirers will see it when it's on your vehicle, so just be sure to put it on the passenger side of the car so that port side of the boat is toward the inside. After you paddle it 5-6 times even you won't remember it's there.
