Hi. I'm a new member and I'm glad I found this forum. I've never owned a jon boat before (or any boat, except an old wooden row boat). I just bought an '84 Sears Gamefisher and filled some water in it to test for leaks. I've found a few but there isn't a lot of leakage. The worst of them leaks a drop about every 3 seconds or so. It's right at the midpoint of the boat.
I have no experience with aluminum and don't have a rivet gun. Is there something I can use to seal the leaks, preferably from the inside as it's much easier to get to? Are these leaks something that's going to sink me? I'm gonna be fishing in Tampa Bay, mostly in quite shallow water.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Barry
