I have an old 48 quart cooler in which the spigot is broken and want to covert to a mash tun. However it is very scratched up inside. Will it be ok to use? Concerned about bacteria but I figure I will boil once through the tun so may be ok?

I would use it. My old cooler was scratched as well. Soaked in pbw and then lightly used a blue sponge with the scrubber on one side (but the scrubber is not supposed to scratch pans) to take off the rest. I realize you can still scratch plastic but since the wort gets boiled like you mentioned, I've never had an issue.
