 if it is just superficial chips and scratches on the bottom side there is no reason to worry about them or need to fix them but if you must I would use a little mar-glass or kitty hair to fill then paint/ gel as required

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

Most of us have a few chips and some scratches on the bottom. If they don't leak I wouldn't worry about them.
