I'm new to sailing and my dad isn't too experienced either. We have a 1977 Sunfish that hasn't been sailed in 12 years. During that time, it has been stored outside. Just last summer, we started to work on restoring it and making it ready for the water. I think the sunfish weighs around 165 pounds (we broke my moms cheap bathroom scale weighing the sunfish and never got the exact weight)
We also know that there is quite a bit of water in the hull. We bought inspection holes to install. This is where we need the advice.
If we install the holes, will the sunfish lose value, and if something goes wrong when cutting the fiberglass, will the hull be destroyed?
also, there are sizeable bashes on the bottom of the hull. Could water be coming in through them?
