[QUOTE="rkc118, post: 423792, member: 21626"] got the boat off the trailer and tried to patch some of the leaks with gluvit. having never worked with an epoxy like this i was surprised how much it ran down the side of the boat. I mixed it at the 5:1 ratio as stated on the can, and waited until a day when the temp was above 50. the epoxy ran down past the area that i had prepped and onto some areas that i had not stripped the paint, probably going to have to clean that area again but time will tell. while the boat was off the trailer, I decided to repair the bunks on the trailer. once i got the old carpet off i realized there were way too many old nails and staples and the wood was too rotted for me to want to reuse. I will get some new 2X6 material and use leftover deck carpet and make some new ones at a later date. boat is back on the trailer and i am waiting for a warmer day next week to seal the inside of the bow with more gluvit and then start laying out the casting decks and flooring.
