[QUOTE="Shoedawg, post: 388652, member: 13490"] This is what I got done and started today. I flipped the boat back over to run another leak test. As I suspected, there were more leaks, which that tar crap was concealing and holding in. Good news is that I only had about 25 rivets all together that need to be replaced. I filled the entire thing up, past the water line. Maybe a little over board, but just wanted to make sure I had all the rivets that were leaking marked and ready for replacement. [ATTACH type="full" alt="image020.jpg"]76144._xfImport[/ATTACH] After the water leak test, and waiting for the water to drain out of the boat, I decided to tackle the drivers console. Its got green Rhino Liner paint on it and has some cracks and a piece or two of missing plastic. Doing some research on how to properly fix this.
