[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 217439, member: 6657"] Fix your leaks (they'll come back yo haunt you if you don't) by removing and installing new rivets in the leaking areas then seal with the 5200. Gluvit goes on the inside seams and rivets and needs to be painted after it sets for UV protection. Use at least 3 coats of the exterior grade Spar urethane for maximum protection on all of your wood surfaces. You should fill the areas/voids under your seats with foam for floatation protection so your boat won't sink if it should happen to flip (which small tinnies are notorious for). The blue or pink polystyrene sheet stuff they sell at Home Depot will work ok for this. [/QUOTE]
