[QUOTE="Bridge4, post: 452682, member: 23709"] Hey Rich, Thanks for the welcome and tips. I have since reconsidered the 3M5200 after my original post and was thinking of just doing some gluvit on those sections and have ordered a can of it, should be showing up next week. I put the boat in my pond just to test it and there wasn't any leaking, but I am being cautious about it as I am getting estimates that this is potentially a boat from the 50's or 60's from people online and I figure it can't hurt to add some waterproofing. As far as the deck, I have spoken with someone else about this also and they mentioned the stability issue as well. My thoughts for the deck were to make it as low as possible on the floor to create a flat space, not a raised deck that will help with fishing. I think you are right though, I should lay some ply down and put it in our pond one day and just see how it is walking around. If it is good I can then spend a few days sealing and carpeting to make it permanent. [/QUOTE]
