I worked on this little Sea Snark today when the sun finally showed up. I removed some big cleats that were on the aft ends, removed a bracket that I think was for a trolling motor and relocated a cleat into the spot where the bracket was. The holes didn't line up so I chose the outermost hole and will fill the other with epoxy and will only have to drill one hole through the stern, this way I will have a cleat at the bow and stern in case I want to tie up to the pier at the cabin. I plan to fill in the holes where the cleats were located, I've seen people use Gorilla Glue for making repairs as it doesn't dissolve the styrofoam under the ABS so I have some clear Gorilla Glue for that. I also want to refurbish the wood rudder. There is a strip of missing material that isn't very deep and I thought I could probably fill it smooth with epoxy and then varnish the heck out of the thing and then seal it up with a waterproof sealer. I still need to wash the sail and wash the hull with some dawn dish detergent and she will be almost ready to sail.
