[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 222983, member: 2865"] First thing you need to do is find the source of the leaks. Most likely loose rivots. Just put several inches of water in the boat and climb underneath and the leaky rivots will be obvious. Mark the leaky ones to be rebucked or replaced. There is no sealant that is a quick fix that I am aware of. If you dont fix the problem, you are just putting a bandaid on it and it will be harder to fix when they reappear. My suggestion is to fix the rivots that are leaking and then Steelflex it. If you try to Steelflex without fixing the loose rivots, my understanding is, it will still fail. Steelflex is tough stuff too. If it wont work, I dont think anything will. [/QUOTE]
