[QUOTE="airshot, post: 490198, member: 1183"] I have an old 12' jon boat I use in my pond. It has had a rough life, dragged over rocks and up on sand beaches to the point where cracks were rubbed thru the ribs formed into the bottom. I used JB weld for a while but it started leaking after a couple years. About 5-6 years back the boat was leaking pretty bad so I searched for other ideas, stumbled across " leak stopper" a ckear brush on sealant used on exterior metal and roofing shingles. In my area you can get it at Home Depot and Tractor Supply. This stuff is awesome and tough!!! I brushed two coats on inside and outside bottom, then after it was thoroughly dry painted two costs of Rustoleum paint over the sealer. That was 5 years back....not one leak...still gets dragged overvrocks and up sandy beaches and dragged thru the yard with my 4 wheeler. Paint has worn off the ribs, but notbthe leak stopper!! This stuff is flexible but tough as nails. If you haveca tinnie with leaks try this stuff, cheaper than most other boat sealers and works very well !! [/QUOTE]
