[QUOTE="fishinchef, post: 63502, member: 947"] The holes/leaks are all fixed now. After I THOUGHT I got them all I found 3 more when I put some water in it. I ended up patching these cracks with silicone and riviting a molded piece of aluminum to the hull for protection. All three of the cracks were in the channels on the bow [img]https://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp284/domravo/100_1148.jpg?t=1229387394[/img] I also had about 4 leaking rivets. a little work with a hammer and some silicone and no more leaks. A little sanding with 220 grit and self etching primer for the bare spots and we are ready for paint. [img]https://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp284/domravo/100_1152.jpg?t=1229387590[/img] I managed to get one coat of paint on and I am going to try to get another on tonight or tomorrow.
