Yes, it can be repaired. In many cases, good prop shops do it by ordering half or full skegs for a particular make & model and weld it on. My fathers shop do skeg repairs all the time.
If your going to go very fast on a light boat, I'd replace it. Welded skegs on the bigger V-6 stuff have been known to break off at high speed. That allows the boat to turn sideways and barrel roll. If it were on a slower or heavy pleasure boat, your probably OK to weld it.
