[QUOTE="atuck593, post: 247893, member: 4904"] Welcome :WELCOME: .... and sweet boat. I have a 71' Seafarer myself. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours. Mine was basically water tight from the start. A tiny leaky rivet in the back...but after a quart of Gluvit it was gone. I thought about sanding, buffing, and using sharkhide polish the aluminum on the bottom and taper it up the bow, but after sanding the paint to re-paint the boat it seemed like too much work. I just settled for painting it with a marine grade epoxy. Green up top and light gray on the bottom. Sticks just fine... just rubbed off a little on the bottom from the bunk trailer. (but who looks at the bottom of the boat anyway?) Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress. One quick side note.... they make two models from around that time. The Seafarer...and the Superstar. I don't know if they are the same boat or one is bigger than the other but here is an old flyer. Maybe it will help you identify your boat.
