G'day Kevin I would just plug the holes and get the few bits you need as cheaply as possible and sail it. You could spend $1000 buying bits and pieces and using the injection method to stiffen the hulls and still have a $400 cat thats cracked all over. Just enjoy it and buy a better one if the racing bug bites.
I disagree. That boat is unsafe. The foredecks are soft and buckling. Eventually, you'll end up like this (when you least expect it):

BTW, the boat in the photo above was not nearly as bad as yours.
