[QUOTE="NSUbass, post: 46066, member: 743"] Frist off, I bought a duck boat/ fishing pirogue from a guy for $300 (too much) because I wanted something small. Then, as all us guys do we decide we want something bigger. Anyways, I wanted a Jon after seeing this website, but I didnt want to spend anymore money, so I traded my pirogue for this 14' x 5' V-hull (do you think I got a good deal?) Ok, here come my questions. It has some small leaks, what is my best course of action? Epoxy or get it welded or what? Second, as you can see the benches are hung down, so am I right thinking they could be removed without having structural issues? Lastly, I might decide to keep them in and just lay the decking over them, is it a problem to have the deck so far below the gunwale? Everybody puts theirs up so high, but I figured this way would save me some bracing. I'm sure I'll have more questions to ask later, but that's it for know, thanks. The Old Boat.
