See pics. Post hurricane a nieghbors boat got beat up and has hole at rubline halfway up boat. I may buy for $1 to motor not sail. I am familiar w H260. Are there spots for water to collect in hidden spots in H26 not just visible spots like bilge and under seats/cabinets?? Are there big voids where sizeable water can sit for years??? It is leaning 5 degrees to side Hurricane Beryl was blowing so water likely collected on that side and there is inches of water in spots.. Davenport

Not specific to the H260, but yes, there are typically areas under the sole where water can collect, especially if the boat was already leaning due to water in the hull.

Is that boat water-ballast?

She took a bit of a beating it looks like…front hatch/ window cracked?
