[QUOTE="Charlesp123, post: 416072, member: 21288"] Great project! I am a week into my 14' modification. Looks like you have a lot more work than me, but I also had 4 small leaks in the bottom. I found that out by flooding the boat about 3 inches. I just took a metal angle grinder brush to it lightly to get a great contact area for the JB weld I used. Did that last night and today it is as hard as steel and impossible to get off. Your boat looks similar to mine which I found out is a 1985 fisher. If your not aware and I wasn't until researching how to find the serial code on the boat. Near the outside starboard side of the transom on the top should be a serial number unless it has been taken off. I would suggest doing so because of the way the guy sold you the boat.
