[QUOTE="OldFloater, post: 298191, member: 10762"] Well i finally got the entire outside of the boat wire wheeled down. So i cleaned out the inside and decided to fill it up and leak test it. Along the seams of the boat, in about the middle of the hull, on both sides the boat leaks pretty good. Now it doesn't look like the rivets are leaking, they all look and feel sound and intact. But it is leaking through the gasket between the seams. How could one fix this without replacing all the rivets? Or would just Primering and painting the hull work as I plan to do anyway? I am sure it would fix the problem since the primer would fill in the seams, but I don't really want to do a temporary fix. Then once the paint gets worn away have the leaks again. [/QUOTE]
