In this case there were a few basic structural issues with the hull, since it had two relatively big holes in it.

There were parts that I decided to restore when, in retrospect it would have been a lot better to have started from scratch. Sure, the repair is good and I have no worry about it's integrity but it probably weighs 50% more than if I had started again and done it the way it should have been done in the first place.
I guess that is the tightrope one walks unless one is starting from a bare hull.
At least with the CD 30 there aren't any structural issues with the basic hull.

a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
