All in all the hull is still very sound, just particular spots... by all mean get under those batteries and fuel tanks!!!! I have found a needle scaler to be the best tool for removing rust and stuff... makes fast work and doesn't hurt the steel.
I would post pictures, but haven't yet figured that out. If you want contact me through email commish01@att.net

Now you've got me worried. How did you know you had holes? We don't seem to be taking on any water. I hope to h*ll we don't need plating. Any suggestions?
