To buy a "water damaged" M-Machine with or without hardware?

[lectriglide]

Albert,

Here are a couple pics of the hull and hardware from the one I got from Aeromarine earlier this year. Notice the slight surface rust on the rudder nut, therefore the "water damaged" label. The stuffing tube needs to be re-epoxied. Most threads I've read take out the nitro mount. they also suggest a longer rudder, like 5" for better handling.

Do these hulls need to reinforced, or are they thicker on the bottom since the are nitro hulls ?.
