I think that all old hulls will pick up water if you are / were not careful with them. Not sure if weighing is an option - you would have to know the exact weight out of the factory, then factor in the weight of anything added or removed. Since this is a red dot it will weigh more and I am not sure if the amount of extra glass was that exact that you could trust it.

Since the transom is cracked I would just assume it has water in it.

I would pass on it. Seems like too much of a headache.

EDIT - Also look at the scum line. Does appear that it has some stern squat that brings it down over the paint. The bow does not have the scum line. I have the same hull, mine squats but it is painted to match the squat.
