New DaySailer Owner

I just bought hull number 7956. I also have an AMF Sunbird which I intend to sell, now. I also sailed and raced Thistles for about 25 years. I'm too old to single hand a Thistle and the fleet here has died. 7956 needs some TLC but I hope to have her on the lake (Arkabutla in north MS just south of Memphis) in a month or so.
From what I have read so far I think my boat lacks positive flotation. I'd appreciate any thoughts on adding it and on replacing the centerboard halyard. I suspect it is in bad shape. Any other hints will be appreciated as I search around the forum.
