Minifish

[barney1]

I am thinking of buying a minifish that has a 2 inch gash in the bottom of the hull, the guy selling says it does not take on water or anything; the fiberglass appears to be there underneath the gel coat that has been ripped away; is this something that I should avoid buying; the condition of the rest of the boat seems to be fine

Does the boat feel like it weighs about 75 or 80 lbs or so?

If it is heavy, it was likely leaking and will require some work - ports etc - and need to be patched and dried out. Weigh it andif it is light, then you can likely just patch and smooth out the gash and be ok.
