[QUOTE="JMill, post: 375264, member: 14265"] Daryn - I'm nowhere near you, lol, but where'd you get 2" from? I've found 3/4" and that's it. 2" would be awesome. So I launched her today and found my leak to be a single rivet on the keel around where the drivers left foot sits. As soon as I get an extra hand around here I'll try to buck it and go launch it again to double check, worst case I'll put a stainless bolt in its place. Otherwise, I didn't get much work done. It appears that the foam that's under the rear deck along the sides has expanded further over time and had pushed the aluminum decking up and had even blown out several rivets. So I pulled that decking up and put some 60 grit sand paper on my palm sander and got after it, leveling out the top of the foam. It worked like a charm! That foam seems fine so I'll be leaving it along with the front foam. All I'll need is a few 4x8 sheets from home depot for under the floors and the sides. I'm almost ready to begin reassembly!
