[QUOTE="HendersonPhoto, post: 366145, member: 15194"] There were some pretty significant holes and cracks in the old rivet spots on the bottom. I attempted to braze a few, but it failed miserably. Bought some Marine Tex at $45 a can, but before I opened it, I found another product called PC-11 which can be applied underwater, etc. and hardens up like Marine Tex. It was $6.45 and comes in smaller tubes than i can get Marine Tex locally, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It seams to work very well and has bonded to the metal. Still need to sand it down. I've filled all of the holes in the aft section, so tomorrow I'll turn the boat over and water / flex test it. [/QUOTE]
