[QUOTE="craveman85, post: 385870, member: 11684"] I had a 16' row boat that leaked like hell for years. About 3 or 4 gallons an hour. I'd get up to speed and pull the drain plug to empty. Then I found this site. I covered all rivets and seams with gluvit then painted it. Still leaked. Found out I had a quarter sized hole in the hull underneath the strake that was riveted on the side of the hull. It was under the rear seat on the side I sat on and I never saw it until I replaced the seats. I guess with my weight on that side whenever I'd turn right that strake Orr splash rail would dip below the water line and dump water in. (I almost always trolled following a path like a NASCAR track but turning right.) It's fixed now. [/QUOTE]
