[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 223042, member: 6657"] You've got yourself a little project there luke. It's going to require some time and elbow grease. The first thing you need to do is take everything out of and off of your boat (motor, gas tank, seats...) then take it off the trailer and turn it upsidedown and remove all that crappy paint and sealant, every bit of it! Then you can see what you have to work with, it looks to me like your keel is probably leaking (the rib that runs down the center of the boat on the outside) and you need to replace the rivets in it. You'll be able to tell more about it when you get that junk removed. As you've seen for yourself cheap, easy, and quick like slapping some paint or some goo on a riveted tin aint gonna stop it from leaking. After you get it cleaned up take another pic and post it here so we can see what you actually have to work with. [/QUOTE]
