Well the boat isn't going to be light weight to start with, it's a heavy beast to begin with, so that makes the repairs easier. It is pretty rough I'll agree. I think I'd fill in the holes with the auto bondo with the glass fibers in it (forget what it's called) and then patch what needs to be patched, paint it and use it and see if you like the design. Would be good enough to give you lines for a new kayak with the same hull shape (not sure if I'd copy the deck or not, but it is distinctive ). I've always wanted one strip built with a keyhole cockpit. Yes I know NDK makes the Greenlander Pro with the bigger cockpit, but it's not the same boat, I've paddled it and it's different. Would be nice to have one that's lighter but it would need ballasted to keep it on the same lines (water bags are easy free ballast).
