[QUOTE="xxxKYDxxx, post: 362423, member: 14882"] Well backed the boat out to the pond behind the garage and tossed in the sump pump. Filled up pretty quickly and even sucked up a crawfish lol. As I anticipated it leaked around where the welds were made. Im guessing due to the heat warping the surrounding areas and melting the sealant the factory put in back in the 60's. Other then that I think only 3 rivets need replacing. I may just give them a tap with a ballpeen and a rounding tool. As for the other seams I need to get a Water resistant Sealant/Epoxy. I have a few ideas of what to get but whats everyones thoughts on these products below?
