I believe this is a plastic kayak. So, while some repairs can be done with fibreglass, it is not useful for many or even most.

What exactly do you need to repair on the bottom?

Local hardware stores have fiberglass repair kits. Depending on how big the hole is (larger than a quarter), you might want to overlay it prior to patching. The hardware store should have a strong enough and thin enough material depending on the size.

The kits work well, just remember to let it cure for longer than required for a secure bond. My father snapped his entire canoe in half and was able to repair it and resume his trip out of the wilderness.

Intex Challenger K1 Rudder

No rudder system is available for INFLATABLE kayaks. They are no good for oceans or lakes only a swimming pool. Get a good solid Ocean Kayak or other brand that is RIGID. Your life may depend on it.

Gauges in polyethelene kayak

Gouges? How big and or deep? Is it a problem in some way?

Poly kayaks get them and really all you can do is smooth the edges so they do not snag on things. Use a very sharp knife and a steady hand -- the less you cut the better. Do not be tempted to use a hot knife!!

Is this kayak very stable in the ocean

Hwello
I read all the reviews of the boat I could find, all were VERY positive, all said the boat was very stable in all water conditions, the only draw back comment I ran across is that it is fairly heavy, but that is due to its rugged design, so really you can't have it both ways.
Having Kayaked in the Ocean many time myself I would buy this boat for that purpose after what I read. Here are some transcripts of the reviews I read

"used one of these while on vacation in canada,and i'm hooked it was very sable on rough waters,and we also took it out and went fishing ."
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"The Future Beach Freedom 160 is a nice stable boat with a rugged and durable build. Due to it's weight the boat is a bit on the slow side and a challenge to move around. Storage at the front of the boat is limited but could be expanded with a small modification. I am sure that this would be a great boat for fishing and other water sports (i.e. snorkling, SCUBA)."
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Love this boat, Amazing Quality, superb tracking
An absolute pleasure to use !!!!!!!!"
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dent in hull of kayak

umm....plastic or composite? If it's plastic, sit it out in the sun or carefully heat the dent with a heat gun and gently push it back out. Happens all the time.

If it's a composite or a rigid plastic kayak, you have a nice repair job ahead of you that won't fit into this space comfortably.
