Advice needed on small leak

I'm selling my 12' v hull that I modified last summer, and I'm buying my buddy's 14 ' boat. It looks like a really good boat, it comes with alot of extras. He say's the only thing wrong with it is - it has a small leak towards the rear, is this something easily fixed? My 12' footer was always bone dry, and before I buy and mod this new one, I guess I want to make sure this "small leak" is easily fixable without alot of expensive repairs. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! D. 8)

As you will see from a large number of posts here - most leaks are simple to fix on a tin Boat. however, without knowing where adn why that 14" boat has a leak it is really hard to say how simple (Could just need some 3M 5200 marine sealant) or it might need to be taken apart and welded

Here are some "leaky" threads:

Agree with Capin.

Thanks! I just wanted to know that it could be easily fixed, really hate to part with my 12 footer, but the 14' is just wider and of course room for 3 is nice. Is the 3m 5200 marine sealant easy to find? D.
