Required on whether to repair or throw away?
I have an OLD cat (number on rear pylon is 407) that has some serious soft spots, none in the front sections or close to the front pylons but in between the pylons and both rear sections have a number of plate sized spots. Also on the insides and outsides of the hulls some soft spots(plate sized). It may be too far gone really need to know if the injection method is worthwhile or will it still be dangerous to sail, just want to teach the grand kids how to sail.
Cheers
Arnie

For the time and money you would need to put into it you're probably pretty close to a break eve point of just finding another cheep boat or even a project boat with decent hulls.

You will Never get the old hulls fixed Find a old boat with good solid hulls and use your boat for parts. And yes I have been there and done that
