Chances are the alarm your hearing could be an over-temp condition, possible thermostat issue. It can still have the appearance of a good P-stream which would run ok at lower rpm, but the engine would overheat as soon as higher rpms were throttled up. This has happened with mine; the T-stat was stuck in a partially open position and would not operate when tested in a pan of hot water. With that said also need to do an inspection of impeller condition. Have you ever had the impeller changed?

Next, I agree with Curt about fiberglass work. Its not that hard to do but can be a messy task. Matching color Gelcoat is a different animal and still can be done. I know guys over the years that did their own.
