What a piece of junk.
But the guy seems quite attached to it. Would it even be repairable?

You guys, you kill me, that was a tough old boat in its day, ok it's hasn't got its original nose cone but those foam sectional collars were revolutionary. You damage one just change that one, take them all off and use the boat without them , quite a versatile boat
