Ebeach is right about that drain, it is probably were some of your water is coming from. Ran into the same problem on Otto's 23. As for the, "matchbox" if you are going to do some major renovating and wnat to get her in the water right away you can let the hole dry out for a while, use halogen lamp on it, not too close though! Grind a bevel back around the perimeter of the hole at about 12 to 1 ratio get some west system and start laminating. Use mat first then two layers of cloth then mat then two layers of cloth until you come out past the bevel. Not going to look good but will give a good hold and keep water out until you are ready.
