[QUOTE="nlittle, post: 309833, member: 10402"] Took a "sick" day today to do some spring preparations around the house and got some work in on the boat. Gutted it out and did the leak test. The POs put in regular screws and bolts everywhere so I fought with rust the entire time. The back bench was the only one with the box and foam. It as in good shape so I think I will reuse it. The transom needs replacing and I will need a new cap since mine is cracked in half. I found 3 patches, one that is steel and is rusting so will need to replace that. The other 2 are aluminum and may only need some resealing. Other than that there were about 10 leaks. There is silicon everwhere so hopefully I have them pin pointed. I had leaking coming out of the holes in the keel. How do I find the actual leak or should I just re rivit the entire bottom middle? Lastly my buddy who works for the town brought me two old stop signs, a speed limit sign and 2 street signs. I am going to try to go all aluminum on my rebuild! I know, pictures... I am on my ipad so need to get to a computer. [/QUOTE]
