[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 223133, member: 6657"] If you rivet the boat properly you won't need to paint of seal. You will need to clean the paint and caulk off so you can see what you're doing and so the keel and hull will pull together properly. If you try to do it without cleaning it all off it won't work. After you get it clean, turn it back over and fill it with water again to see if you can better pinpoint the leak. The areas in red look highly suspect to me.
