[QUOTE="deadkitty, post: 443046, member: 9486"] Haven’t had a ton of time to work on it much lately, between the torrential downpours and 3 kids, those “project” minutes are few and far between. So today I got the old boat back to selling condition... aka, swapped my helix 5 out for my old 398ci si, removed the garmin up front, keeping all my batteries, and swapped out the bow terrova for the Motorguide that was chillin in my shed. Removed downrigger mounts. Now she’s all set for pickup on Monday. It’ll be a bittersweet goodbye.... Anyway so after an insane amount of rain and no cover, and a plugged up plug, the mirrocraft filled with a few hundred gallons of water. Sweet, easy leak check as it’s now been sunny for a few days. Previous owner said it weeped a bit. Checked the entire bottom and only found a very small leak right on the bow, like maybe it was beached too hard, one too many times. I plan on covering the seams with coat it, before the full repaint, that’ll probably happen in the spring when the weather warms back up. Until then, I will probably just use a bit of marine goop for a temporary solution. Overall pretty happy to only have the one wet spot. Hoping to get some work done on the transom next week to make her fishable again.
