I don't think many these are built with waterproof glue. Maybe if you stripped the paint coated it with epoxy inside and out and added a lot of lead weight to the keel, maybe it would work. For all the work involved in converting, you could probably build a new hull.............the last time I restored a full size wooden boat, the time consumed and the money spent, could have built 3 boats.
