[quote=dmgbear55]Dave,
As noted above this is a very repairable boat and if the size and capabilities work for you it is a good starting point. It sounds like you are in or near Olympia. This site is a great resource for info on rebuilding these boats. Spend some time looking through the photo albums, particularly the Technical one. I have also been rebuilding my 40 year old 5.2 this summer and soon it will be in better condition than it was when new. You can also go to YouTube and search on This End Up and see the steps I have gone through.
I'm down by Portland, but Olympia is my home town, so will be looking for someone to go play with soon. Next thing you are going to want is either a wet or dry suit so you can play all year long.
