Brian,
One small point:
In your haste to explain the origin and history of the damage and build you incorrectly call the cleat and fairlead the skeg control. It is the old school deck mounted tow system. You can tell by the size and also you would not put the skeg line right over the rear hatch. The tow line would want to be centered and hopefully will not rip the hatch cover off.
I suppose it is junk now and not worth the time and risk to save. If it came into my hands I would back off due to the ocean cockpit. Not a fan.
Sadly you make other valid points. Those voids are a common shame on very nice designs.
Paul
