[QUOTE="GAHunter, post: 468063, member: 24888"] I just ran sealant the full length of the keel (both sides) and down the seam on both sides of the side of hull, hopefully that, a layer or 2 of coat it/epoxy, and then paint (plus inside paint) will have everything nice and sealed. Probably over kill, but why not.. I was looking at the caps on mine. I may be able to get them off by removing 4 rivets on the side (that go into gunnel) and a couple from the rear that went through the top of the transom. I need to have a plan of attack as I dont want to epoxy over any rivets I'm going to be removing lol. I'm going to let this sealant set up for a few hours and then I'll flip it over and get a closer look at the caps/transom area. I may have jumped the gun a little. Was thinking and it may have been better to let the epoxy get down in the seams first.. hopefully it will form a protective shell over the sealant and seep in any holes or gaps in the sealant. If I was to do this again I might have even coated the inside seams and rivets prior to painting. Ah well :) [img]https://i.ibb.co/2cVQvh2/20190821-115405.jpg [/img] [/QUOTE]
