Ok, I love my MFG 19 but if just for fun you had the opportunity to purchase just a hull of a MFG Redhead for 100 bucks just for a fun project would any of you guys grab it? I'm thinking about turning it into a cutter rig. Thoughts?

I've not seen one close up enough to comment. The rigging does not look too complex. How does the mast attach?

Is there no centerboard or rudder? Getting those dimensions right could be a problem.

One one hand, the boat really is worthless with just the hull. I think whoever owns it now should just give it to you to take it off their hands. I'm not sure how I feel about $100. On the other hand, if you are really handy and got it all together it could be fun and a real sense of satisfaction.

If I had time, and if I were good with custom work, I would go for it (and probably also pay for the hull). My biggest worry would probably be the centerboard.
