[QUOTE="KRS62, post: 367740, member: 3704"] The initial shock of seeing what was under the floor has faded and I am planning to keep her and fix her up. I have a buddy that has an air rivet gun (for solid rivets) and bucking bars. (I have an air pop rivet gun that I am sure to use plenty on project.) I have pulled most of the silicone off of the rivet heads and will do another leak test today and report back. The hull looks okay so far, but all four ribs are cracked on the very ends. (As shown in pic.) It may not matter depending on how many rivets I will need to drill out and replace...but I am if it is only a few rivets...that I can weld/repair these cracks without pulling up the rib. Any thoughts? I am going to post over on a welding forum as well to see what they say. KRS [/QUOTE]
