Scorpion sailboat

I recently purchased a "sunfish" for my boys to sail at the lake. Turns out, I think it is a Scorpion. Looks like the pictures. It is in decent shape and the price was right, but it is very heavy. I read in an earlier post that Scorpions were "filled to the brim with foam flotation." Does anyone know if I would still be able to cut inspection ports to dry it out? I would be comfortable drying it out, finding and fixing the leak, etc. It will also be good for my boys to get some "sweat investment" in their boat. Also, it has been fitted with the old SF rudder system. Should this be converted to the newer style? Everthing else, including the sail, is Sunfish. Thanks for your help.
