[QUOTE="trophybass13, post: 276642, member: 4417"] I had the same problem with leaky rivets on my 14' flat bottom. Once I put the boat up on the old sawhorses, I put the drain plug in the boat, filled the bottom of the boat with water from my garden hose until the water was about 2 inches deep inside the boat, crawled down underneath the boat, and looked for all the spots that the water was dripping down from, and marked them with a pencil. I then went to my local Menards, and found a sealant called J B WELD. It cost me about 8 bucks. AND ITS AWESOME. it comes in two little toothpaste like tubes. All you do is pour some out from each tube, mix the two sealants together, and then apply the new liquid bond to all the leaky areas on the boat, and then let dry for a few hours. once it dries, its a rock solid seal equivalent to a metal weld. and then you can sand down the excess amounts of the newly hardened surface with any sander really. i used a revolving sander on mine. But my point is, I sealed every single one of my leaks on the bottom of my boat with that stuff well over 3 years ago, and have never had another drop of water inside my boat since. [/QUOTE]
