Thanks for the info, I put in a 4 inch port (I can always upgrade to a 5 inch). Dont know if I will be installing the new rudder system. Will wait and see how dry I can get her.
Thanks Again

Where do you install a aft inspection port when you have the old style rudder? I have seen the diagram of where to install ports, but that diagram is for the news style. Will I cut into foam if it is installed where shown?
I spoke to the previous owner last week. He said he felt bad and would get backt to me. No return call, I really thought he would have been descent about the whole thing, guess not.
I tried applying a vaccum to the boat no help. I really thought that would do something. I guess it's time for the inspection ports. Any advice on wich ports are the best?
Thanks for all the help
I guess I should of had a scale with me when I picked up the boat( I'm sure S.B. would have). I didn't think that was a bad price for a boat and trailer. The rest of the boat seems to be in good shape. I really hate to have to cut holes in her though. Thanks for all the advice.
Thanks for the advice, I do believe the seller was unaware of the weight. I did empty as much water as possible from the drain hole, before I put her on the scale. I believe it's saturated foam. What are the chances of getting her down to proper weight?.
I recently purchased a sunfish off ebay. When I put her in the water I noticed she was really heavy. She was very slow and sluggish on the water. When I got home and weighed her she topped out at 225 lbs(just the hull on the scale). Also the sail kleat is popping off. I paid $1200 for the boat...
